Pros

The people are the best to work with in the ecosystem. Very passionate, talented, and supportive team all around. I've worked with other consultancies and MarCloud have the best work life balance and the most inclusive and diverse team. We work on great projects with really interesting and diverse logos. Great culture thanks to the efforts of the team and the "transparency" value is taken seriously by everyone. We use a tool to track people's happiness each week and any ideas or asks that come out of that engagement are actioned by leadership. Management are good at recognising areas for improvement and jumping on these quickly when people raise concerns.

Cons

There is a need to improve some internal processes, but MarCloud is working to update these and seeking input from everyone on the team. It can be harder to collaborate when working remotely but they have recently introduced new project management tools which should help.

Thanks a lot for writing this review! The people really are what makes us the best in the space, we've definitely got something special here. Transparency will always be a core value but we are human, it's everyone's responsibility to maintain it and something we always need to work on. We'll never be perfect, but we can come close... The hybrid nature of our work is always going to be a challenge but I think we've got the hang of it. I'm glad you mention the tool to track happiness, the data shows we're the happiest we've ever been! Tom

Pros

Frequent repetitive tasks meaning one can hone their skills in many orgs doing similar processes and becoming experts at spotting gotchas and quick fixes Great concept of Free Org Health Check/Diagnostic meaning one gets access to many Salesforce orgs to analyse and compare best practice Culture of blogging or presenting for the business means one can hone their skills at simplifying concepts and evangelising Decent use of FridayPulse to gather team members feelings and feedback (even if never acted on) Animal-friendly office

Cons

All the commando missions clients funnelled by Salesforce with enormous technical debt and hard to manage PoCs Very junior team members, a lot of hand-holding Exploitation of the few technical team members on top of loading their plates with pitching, pre-sales and team mentoring Lack of transparency and clear planning from company leaders, frequent whiplash-inducing changes Fake "inclusive" culture penalising foreigners, women, parents, remote-workers Horrible communications where everything is hidden behind fake smiles and no hard or let alone honest conversation is ever had Almost zero progression opportunities

Thank you for writing this review, continuous improvement is a core value of ours and we do proactively ask the team for feedback throughout employment so it is a shame to hear of your experience here. Starting with the positives, thank you for highlighting our commitment to specialisation on the marketing cloud platforms (albeit with a slight undertone of dissatisfaction). We do position ourselves as thought-leaders and commit to understanding the platforms inside and out. The point on change is completely fair, I can say as a growing business we do not always get things right. As a leadership team, it has been a journey for us as well and we do apologise for any negative experience you had here, the small business environment typically involves a lot of change. Whilst we try our best to keep the ship steady, based on your tenure I agree that there was a lot of change throughout that period which was crucial to getting us to where we are today. Since the restructure on 1st April this year, delivery of projects and team communication has improved massively and the feedback from the team has been really positive - albeit it's still early days and we will be improving as we go! Our office is where our junior employees are situated and this is intentional so we can do our best to upskill them and create a conversational environment where questions can easily be answered and discussed. This may have contributed to the junior-feeling environment as you were office-based. Our experienced team members are all remote and have many years of experience on their side. Our extensive list of 5* client CSAT's support this! MarCloud is mostly made up of remote workers so I'm glad you mention Friday Pulse as this tool is quite important for how we measure happiness within the company (alongside the eNPS survey). The majority of our work we win ourselves, organically, so unfortunately I do not understand the comment around 'commando missions' from Salesforce. We have not ever penalised anyone in any capacity so I'm afraid I do not understand what this point is referring to. We do have performance plans in place for underperformers which is intended to support them, although this is very rarely implemented. My door is always open if you ever wanted to talk so please feel free to drop me a message on LinkedIn. Otherwise, I wish you all the best in what you are doing now and thank you for the constructive parts of your feedback. Tom
