Pros

Remote. Nothing else I can think of.

Cons

— During the recruiting process I interviewed directly with the CEO Brandon Bornancin who told me how amazing the company was, fast-growing, with lots of opportunities to grow professionally. Even though I had two other job offers, I decided to take this offer; — Shortly after joining I personally saw the bad financial situation the company was in. After a period of rapid growth growth in 2021 and 2022, the company has been losing accounts each month since the start of 2023, with more cancellations than new subscriptions. — My guess? The company got complacent during the period of rapid growth and was now playing catchup to its competitors — A couple of weeks after I joined, the CEO (Brandon) started sending me direct messages asking me how he could turn things around, like somehow there was a magic answer I could give him. Hey Brandon - Apollo.io is years ahead of you with a more comprehensive set of features and better pricing. There’s your magic answer. — During my four months at the company I saw people been fired constantly, usually with a lame excuse “We believe Person A will have more room to grow in another company”. But after a few firings, they finally came clean: “We fired this Person because he wasn’t working hard enough, we are not growing anymore and are losing accounts, we need to keep only people who are willing to work hard in order to turn this company around” — After this I knew I had made a mistake by joining this company, but I still had hope. I didn’t want to give them an excuse to fire me, so I started working long hours, weekends included. I had a roadmap that I knew was going to add value to the company and I was working hard to execute on it. However, while I had a long term plan (6 to 12 months roadmap), the company seemed almost obsessed with "quick wins" or magic answers — After 4 months I get a 2 min call from my manager saying that it was my last day, the company was going in another direction, here’s a 2 week severance, and it’s not your fault — The day before I got laid off I had a 1:1 with the person who hired me, but he didn’t bother to show up, later sending me a note that he forgot and was in another meeting. It reminded me of my job interview with him. He was 20 minutes late, and if it had been the other way around I would have been immediately rejected — FINAL WARNING - Seamless.AI has ~300 employees but here on Glassdoor there are ~700 reviews, even if you account for former employees, it doesn’t seem right. When I was there I personally witnessed the CEO getting people to write fake reviews on G2 (a site for business software reviews). Is he doing the same thing here? Well, I wouldn’t know. But I certainly wouldn’t trust all the 5 star reviews out here.

Terrible company to work for

Pros

The recruiting process was good. The recruiters really work hard to move you through the process quickly.

Cons

The CEO is super flighty. Literally everyone I talked to said to take what he says with a grain of salt so it really made working there a nightmare because I had no idea who the leader was. There is a crazy amount of nepotism. That nepotism didn’t affect me but I thought it was wierd. They will hire folks and then in a matter of months lay them off because of budgeting. It didn’t just happen to me. I’m the 3rd person that this has happened to there. They monitor everything on your computer. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind monitoring to an extent, but having to use the restroom a few time a day will effect that you aren’t at your computer for exactly 8 hours. So because you weren’t at your computer for 8 hours you have to use PTO to make that time off. Sooooo long story short I don’t think anyone should accept job offers from them. There is a real chance you will get laid off in a few months.

Pros

Amazing direct management & coworkers.

Cons

READ the reviews listed before considering applying/interviewing here. There are so many fakes ones that are clearly chatgpt or fake written that don’t apply to the actual role/company. The ones that truly explain their experience are giving you the direct warning you need. Seamless is a 100% sales focused company. Meaning the main focus is money money money. Senior leadership makes their decisions about people’s income & jobs on how it will bring them more money. They strictly care about themselves and it’s extremely clear in the decisions they make. The CEO makes it clear about how he feels about any department other than sales in his words (going as far to call us losers and that he would prefer we quit today in a zoom meeting he randomly jumped into) and in his actions. Not to mention your feedback is useless because everyone is scared of being fired for any room for improvement feedback. Direct management and coworkers are amazing and made the job a little worth it but if you can’t handle random changes made on your behalf that strictly benefit the company, being talked down to, not being rewarded for your hard work and want a healthy work environment, save yourself the stress and just skip over Seamless. I hope you catch the hint I missed when I started here.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your negative experience and appreciate your honesty. Seamless.AI is, at its core, a growth-driven company, and like many businesses, sales are a critical function that sustains that growth. Our focus on revenue ensures that we can continue to innovate, invest in our employees, and provide opportunities for professional development across all departments. It’s important to recognize that a healthy focus on sales doesn’t mean we disregard the importance of our teams—it’s about keeping the business sustainable for everyone’s benefit while staying dedicated to fostering an inclusive and supportive culture that values every department, every individual, and their contributions simultaneously. To be successful, feedback has to be two ways and we provide multiple channels to give internal feedback both directly and confidentially. We are listening to employees all the time through those various channels and constantly keep a pulse on how our team is feeling. We disagree that sharing feedback is useless, and we wish you would have voiced your concerns with us while you were still here so we could have had the opportunity to change your experience and perspective. Our HR and leadership teams genuinely want to see everyone succeed and reach their full potential at Seamless.AI. They are here to support employees and their growth. We are saddened to hear you didn't feel that was your experience. Thank you again for your transparency, and we hope you find success in your future endeavors!
