Pros

At this point, there are none

Cons

The worst professional experience of my career by far. Upper management changes company direction every few months, and internal processes are constantly being modified. Workload continues to increase to accommodate the gaps left by the multiple RIFs that have taken place. I was told on multiple occasions that a pay adjustment was more than likely, only to be informed that my salary wouldn’t be adjusted. Perhaps the only feature that meets with high approval across the company, the remote working structure, has now been rescinded for those living in Athens and NY. This is despite constant assurances that the flexible model was core to Persado’s approach.

Pros

Overall it is a very collaborative environment and the team is very welcoming to new hires. The teams have deep knowledge of the platform and industry and a general passion for helping solution for customers.

Cons

A lot to learn quickly, but everyone is quite helpful.

Pros

I genuinely love working at Persado. The role and scope are exactly what I was hoping for, and the work itself is challenging in the best way. Expectations are high, but they’re paired with a product that is constantly evolving, so you’re encouraged (and expected) to keep learning, thinking creatively, and pushing yourself alongside it. The people are incredibly kind, thoughtful, and respectful. There’s a strong sense of collaboration without any pressure to perform small talk or force close friendships, which I really appreciate (as someone who prefers to keep work & life separate). You’re trusted to show up as a professional, do great work, and contribute meaningfully. Leadership gives space to operate and values good judgment and it is very much a place where ideas matter and where employees are treated like capable adults. It's by far the most empowering, encouraging environment I have ever been a part of.

Cons

The work (irrespective of department) is demanding and requires a lot of ownership and self-direction. It’s a great environment for people who like to stretch, but it’s not a place to coast.
