High Turnover company - Sales Gamelearn Employee Review

The idea and value proposition was nice when I was there. I had a blank canvas to open a new market.

2 years after leaving the company I was still waiting to get my bonus paid. They tried to make me think that they would pay me soon so that it went over 2 years and I could not legally claim my money. Fortunately I did not wait and they agreed to pay my money before trial.

- The product’s alright. But it doesn't hold up, especially with all the new gen-AI stuff going on in learning tech, but it’s still decent. Less than 50% of clients renew though, so you'll never make a bonus if you're in sales. - The company has a bit of a startup vibe. They hold “town hall” meetings here and there, where anyone can chime in, and connecting with other teams is actually pretty smooth. - The team used to be awesome, and the office vibe was great. Most of that energy is gone now, but sometimes you still catch a few good moments. Poor HR management. - The HR benefits aren’t bad; they offer things like flexible income plans and Fridays off. But be aware, the Fridays off depend on your manager’s approval, and they’ve really dialed it back over the last couple of years. - Their board of directors has a talent for posting glowing (and fake) reviews on Glassdoor. Great writing skills! Yet seem totally fine ignoring the fact that this place is on a downhill slide.

If you’re unemployed, keep going with the application. Otherwise, I’d probably skip it. This company used to have a solid foundation and ran pretty well from 2015 to 2021, but post-pandemic, things have tanked because of some bad calls from management. They will cut staff by 25% by the end of the year because of low revenue. If you’re looking at a sales role, just know that your responsibilities will switch up every quarter based on whatever the CEO decides, even if he doesn't totally get what you actually do day-to-day. They'll hype up the commission potential to justify the low base salary, but no one’s really making that big money. Last quarter, fewer than 10% of people got any bonuses, and even then, it barely hit €2,000. Expect a lot of micromanaging too. Managers are still pushing outdated stuff like cold calling and spamming LinkedIn, which isn’t exactly a vibe in 2023. They don’t go to industry events or seem to get what’s trending in the learning space. It’s honestly kind of rough. Lots of people have left after five-plus years because it’s just not good for mental health. AND they’re tied up in a bunch of court cases for not paying out severance and bonuses to current and former employees — and they've lost every case so far.
