Yikes - Marketing & Sales Spiceworks Ziff Davis Employee Review

Products are boring, no one really understands what they're selling, and clients are dropping off in search of greener pastures. The company has made multiple acquisitions but allocated marginal raises to employees - not to mention the teams in India are paid far below the market rate. The pace is fast, as it is with many organizations, but it has a frantic, disorganized energy that is unique to SWZD. As another reviewer stated, leadership is laughable, constantly panicking and changing strategies, which forces teams to work at unrealistic and unsustainable speeds. But the most disappointing thing is the nosedive taken by the company culture. Leadership often states that their direct reports' salaries aren't the most important thing but rather "the friends we make along the way." And if you're on the Sales side, be wary of interactions with the CRO: some days, your meetings will feel calm and constructive, but others will be peppered with insensitive jokes, yelling, and cursing. The Sales org has become a Boys Club and unfortunately, sexually harassing comments have become commonplace. You can find something better.
