Pros

There was, at a time, a culture here that included camaraderie, friendship, and boundaries. Daily free lunch wasn't about free food, but taking a break for lunch, eating and chatting with your colleagues and friends. That's what made this place fun and enjoyable to work at. Great product and a genuine desire to help customers grow.

Cons

Croneyism, the hiring of a bro culture, and hyper-growth led to a culture that was anathema to many and resulted in numerous unfortunate departures by folks no longer able to handle the toxic environment.

Thank you for taking the time to express your feelings about InsightSquared. As you’d imagine, it’s difficult to hear someone characterize the environment this way, but you’ve given us valuable feedback on hiring standards and cultural trends. As an example of changes we’ve made, I have gone back to participating in every recruiting cycle, and speaking with every candidate before an offer is made. The goal is to improve our selection process while bringing back more of the camaraderie that you mentioned. I’m committed to translating your feedback into action, so if there’s anything further you wish to add, I’d always welcome an email. -Fred

Pros

They do a pretty good job of keeping up with the rest of the Boston tech companies in terms of perks in the office. Most coworkers are hard working and friendly. You constantly get to meet new, cool people with all of the turnover/layoffs

Cons

CEO is not respected and his vision isn’t clear. Product isn’t competitive Anymore. Goals are not realistic for reps,

Thank you for the feedback. I agree that we have a team of friendly and hardworking people. I'm sorry that you're frustrated with my communication of our vision. We've put a lot of work into this over the past few months. I hope that you and others on the team feel this has improved. I'd welcome discussion and feedback on that front. For folks considering a career here, I have many channels of feedback to address concerns personally, including monthly town hall meetings, monthly employee surveys, anonymous feedback channels, and biweekly office hours. I appreciate critical feedback and will continue to try and do better for our team. Thanks, Fred (CEO)

Thank you for the feedback. Love that you're enjoying the culture and feel the connectivity of your co-workers. One thing I did want to clarify, we have not had a layoff since 2016. I encourage you to connect live with me to clarify. Thanks!
