Pros

Great people. Very laid back work environment. Real team mentality. They celebrate their successes and drive to correct their mistakes.

Cons

They need to get out of their startup mentality. It is a 10-year old company. Everything is Sales-driven. They need to establish processes and protocols of a mature business. They are not prepared to handle Enterprise-level customers without the proper support infrastructure in place. Specifically, they need to take care of the customer after the sale has gone through. Right now everything is "sell! sell! sell!" - the problem is - the customer's often don't understand what they've purchased and it causes a severe drain on the support groups as they try to hand-hold the customer on how to implement the products. They also have too many product offerings - it causes confusion for the customer on what they need.

Pros

Gigya is a place where smart, hard working people flourish. Change is constant and we often try new strategies to be successful. That's what a start up is. We have a great culture and have traditionally hired great people. Unfortunately management was pushed to make rapid hires and because of that, some bad seeds joined the pack. (See recent negative reviewers) The people who wrote those reviews were people who did a mediocre job, didn't get promoted 6-8 months into the job and didn't understand that just doing the minimum to get by doesn't mean you get a shiny new promotion. It's sad that people feel the need to lash out on a place that gave them their start in sales, paid them well and taught them skills that would help them in their next career. It's very clear that Gigya wasn't the right place for them, because a true Gigyian would never bash a place that fed them, taught them, celebrated them and paid them well.

Cons

Some may say that "only working from home 1 day a week" and "not enough snacks" is a con. To them I say, cry me a river or move back in with your parents and have them pack you a snack. This is your career, not play time.
