Pros

I could go on and on about how much I love Social Tables and why! Would recommend to any of my friends! Great people, awesome workspace and office, collaborative environment, work hard/play hard with flexible vacation schedule, ability to take on different duties outside of your department, hardworking individuals and executive team and CEO who is incredibly transparent. We have weekly Happy Hours in the office and weekly meetings where our CEO will answer any questions you may have. We also have monthly Town Halls that allow the team to come together. Between HH, employee awards shows throughout the year, Family weekend, and many clubs, this is a great place to work! Incredibly happy in a great downtown location. We have a great product so working with our customers and clients is always fun!

Cons

We are a hospitality company so for the most part, people are inclusive. We focus a lot on culture, and sometimes forget that it isn't about who you know in the company but should be based on merit and performance. Long hours. Not given too much independence when it comes to your daily activity. Pressure does not come from above, but more from peers.

Hi Tabler - thanks for the review. When we revised our core values a few months ago "Data is Our Diplomat" was added specifically so that we make our decisions with a more performance based approach. If you ever find that you metrics are noticed or driving your advancement let's chat about that!

Pros

- Social Tables was acquired by Cvent in October of 2018 - Way bigger pond to play in, lots of opportunities within Cvent for career growth - Best of both worlds - we retained our office, (great space in DT D.C.), our management team, a lot of autonomy; but have Cvent support in lots of efforts - Cvent has been helpful in breaking new ground with customers that before didn't work with us - Product has stabilized (although there are still some challenges) - You have to work hard (but you do have the opportunity to play hard!)

Cons

- The integration was really tough. We lost some people and almost every process was updated. - Cvent is way bigger and we had to level up to their contract cleanliness, etc. It was hard. - The good news is that 90% of integration projects are behind us - We have a few ongoing misalignments with the product team, but it's definitely better than it was a year ago

Pros

- Incredible professional development! The company really cares about the growth of each employee. There are always brown-bag lunch talks given by guest speakers and/or employees on all kinds of cool topics. The company also gives a $1000/year education stipend to each employee that can be spent on things such as attending a conference, online courses, etc... - Awesome culture driven completely by the people! There are hobby-oriented clubs for pretty much anything you can think of (movie club, basketball club, restaurant of the month club, push-ups club...you can even create your own if you want!). Everyone is very friendly and easy-going. Has a very family-like atmosphere to it. - Amazing engineering culture with a strong emphasis on using modern open-source technologies to solve very challenging problems. All of the engineers have a true love of learning and are always trying to grow their skills and knowledge. Great sense of camaraderie amongst the Product Development team

Cons

The company did suffer from employee work-life balance problems and miscommunication issues between upper-management, but most of those have been addressed in the past half-year. Sometimes the company can try to be too ambitious relative to the number of people we have to actually execute on the ideas.
