Pros

1.Some great talent - Talkwalker can hire but fails to retain! 2. Good product

Cons

1. Major disconnect between leadership and reality - senior leadership is conservative across the board with a distinct lack of ability or willingness to take risks. 2. Systemic racism - leadership and HR are happy to throw around the term 'diverse' when the reality is they are a 'diverse' set of white Europeans. This Euro-centric 'diversity' is used conveniently as an excuse for not standing up for important social issues and allowing systemic racism to persist within the company. 3. Casual racism - racial microaggressions on a daily basis as "jokes" are the norm especially by the Sales and Marketing leadership. 4. Pay structure is well below industry average 5. Traditional hierarchical structure 6. Lack of career growth opportunities - no transparent or rewarding career milestones. It is common for your job title and responsibilities to change with no compensation. Leadership and HR have been known to change job titles specifically to make them less searchable and decrease employees' chances of finding another job. 7. High churn rate - between the haphazard firing sprees and the intelligent employees quitting, Talkwalker's churn rate is scarily high.
