Swoon reviews

Communicate can be better. Swoon has a nasty habit of trying to move super quick with changes. Although the changes, for the most part seem to produce the desired result, it can give a bit of whip lash when things are immediately changed without any opportunity for feedback or absorbtion. Agility is key, but the reactivity to challenges can leave sour tastes in peoples mouths. Swoon promotes people who were good at hitting metrics or have been at the company for a certain amount of time... but all these people arn't necessarily great leaders. With little leadership training and coaching, these middle leaders are getting disgruntled and their frustration is leaking into their teams.

I periodically like to validate my work trauma with others’ reviews and this has been quite cathartic for me. A few years later and it’s all the same as what I experienced. Unrealistic expectations followed by a PIP with completely incomprehensible metrics, followed by a forced quit because I voiced I “wasn’t sure the PIP expectations were achievable”. If I knew then what I know now, I should have let them fire me so I could at least collect unemployment. I was Hired as an account manager with promises of certain accounts, that turned very quickly into straight biz dev in an entirely untouched market, with little to no recruitment support. Completely unrealistic expectations with zero support from leadership, no database of targets, no access to information to prospect. This job really made me reconsider my abilities back then, but I know now it was a bigger issue they’ve still yet to rectify.
