Pros

Compared to some other companies I’ve worked for, AskLocala cares about the success and growth of its employees and treats them well. Very accommodating to remote work and flex work. Time off, and health benefits are good, especially for a “smaller” sized company. Taking time off to rest/recharge is actually encouraged. Company is filled with great people from all over the world, who work hard and are empathetic & supportive of one another. The products are Innovative/evolving, and they work (clients give great feedback and renew consistently) For people who want to learn, grow, make an impact – you have a chance to do more than just the daily grind of the job, i.e you can get involved with other projects with other teams, and you can innovate. Not the case with some large companies I’ve worked at. Company is growing too, so many opportunities to grow along with it are ahead.

Cons

- Global company across many time zones makes it difficult to have meetings or book events. - Things move very fast, so global communication internally is not always the best

Pros

Great opps and sales teams. Really good people.

Cons

C-suit is aloof and has no connection to the workers bees. New CMO is a suspect choice, don’t really buy that he is qualified to be in his role. Don’t believe in the future of the company, setting up to sell if they can find a buyer. Salary’s are way below industry standard across the board. People are leaving like crazy.

I’m sorry to hear you were disappointed with your experience at S4M, but you are right on one thing — we are fortunate to have great teams. As much as I appreciate your feedback, I'm surprised to hear this was your experience. We ran a pulse check survey a few weeks ago and we didn’t get such negative feedback on the confidence in the future of our company. As Care is one of our company values, we communicate openly and attach great importance to sharing the company strategy and getting our people’s feedback. At no time have we discussed selling the company — on the contrary, we are working on plenty of business development projects. As Success is another of our company values, we have great respect and confidence in our leadership team to reach our ambition. I am sorry you felt that way and I need to remind you that we are always open to a discussion if you wish to speak further. Armelle: Chief People Officer
