Pros

- Couldn't speak highly enough about my 5 years at Hootsuite and would recommend the company to anybody considering an application or actively interviewing. - As I exceeded targets, opportunities to take on additional responsibility were presented to me and was promoted through the business on multiple occasions. - Had the opportunity to work in an International office and gain that experience as well - Absolutely loved the flat nature of the business and that any C-Suite leader had time to answer questions throughout the day. - Lastly, left the company with an amazing professional and personal network. The people are truly what make this organization so amazing

Cons

- Not many companies grow from 150 to +1000 employees in 5 years, which naturally causes some growing pains. The biggest recommendation I'd give to new employees is to take the initiative in shaping the direction of your career and seek out mentors that know how to navigate the hyper-growth. With such growth, it's possible that your next job doesn't exist yet. It's critical to have those conversations early to ensure all parties are aligned on where you want to go next. Not a Con, but rather a fun challenge to work through.

Pros

- Strong brand awareness in social media management - Good people on many teams - Flexible remote work environment - Opportunity to learn in a fast-moving company

Cons

- The Talkwalker merger never seemed to have a clear plan for how the two companies would actually work together. Even more than a year later, there still was not a simple or consistent story about the combined company, products, or customer value. - Leadership often seemed more focused on social media and public visibility than on running the company and improving execution internally. - A lot of the marketing leadership team came from agency backgrounds and did not seem to have much real SaaS operating experience, especially around product marketing, lifecycle marketing, or long-term growth strategy. - Many employees were afraid to speak up when they saw problems with a process or strategy. There was not always a culture where people felt safe challenging bad decisions. - Teams across Product, Marketing, Sales, and Leadership often did not seem aligned, which led to confusion, shifting priorities, and slow execution. - There were many smart and hardworking people at the company, but constant changes and unclear direction made it hard to move quickly or build momentum.
