Pros

It’s good to work for a company that can ultimately impact society in a positive way.

Cons

Headless chickens running around. This is best analogy for the current stage of EcoVadis marketing. Trial and error at its best. There is no clear strategy, but there is an ongoing process of hiring new leadership in a rush to “overhaul” the marketing organization. While it’s true they lacked some skills, the new hires are average at best and sometimes even less competent than current employees. The new CMO doesn’t seem to listen and seems to believe everyone who was already here it’s incapable. There is absolutely zero career plan for marketing employees, zero recognition for those who have had great+ performance reviews and struggle to move the needle in a “save yourself if you can” environment. My guess is sales are also stuck as we’re seeing revolving doors in that organization… They also ask us for leaving a Glassdoor review when we’ve just joined and are in the ‘honeymoon’ phase with the company, that’s why you see so many good reviews here.

Pros

Fantastic people dedicated to a great mission Loved my team

Cons

Have you ever been in a toxic relationship before? Where you're enamored with this thing and you keep trying whatever it takes to make it work? You give yourself entirely to whatever it may be - job, person - and you realize at the end that you're better off without them? That is what EcoVadis was to me. I considered this company a dream job when I first got it, but after 2+ years I have realized I'm doing better elsewhere. The culture is trending downwards, the leadership is in an echo chamber (it seems leaders are only hired from Salesforce - nothing against Salesforce, but it didn't create a holistic leadership team), product is expensive, it is considered a nice-to-have by customers and not a vital core offering, the micromanagement is increasing, 0/30 NAM sales reps hit quota in 2024, and top reps are leaving either willingly or being put on PIPs. Morale was at an all time low when I left, and doesn't seem to be getting better. Listen, I've been in your shoes before, reader. You see a disgruntled employee going to town on their ex and you think, well it won't be the same for me. And I hope it won't, because this company does make a positive impact on the world, and I do wish the best for it, but right now the North America sales team is not where I would advise you to go.
