FinancialForce Reviews

Pros

- Refreshing culture, full of energy, lovely office. - Lots of investment in employees in terms of training. - Great recruitment process. - Coming to work is always a joy, never a chore :)

Cons

The office is situated on the outskirts of Harrogate (a lovely place), however this means the closest train station is a 30 minute walk/additional 20 minute bus journey. There is free parking on site though.

Pros

Camaraderie Flat management structure A feeling of worth Easy to connect and chat (And have a beer) with the CEO and any of the management team Your ideas count A disruptive tech company in hyper growth Seek forgiveness rather than permission Be accountable

Cons

Not a place to be if you need to be told what to do Not good if you want to corporate ladder - There isn't one Somewhat unstructured as there is a reliance on the individual to contribute

Advice to Management

More of the same

Pros

PSA product is good Erp is getting better Great people at mid level management

Cons

CEO not able to pull people together, build confidence or create a strategy. many great people have left the sales organization and there have been 4 different sales leaders in less than two years. CEO has not been able to align the company or the board to grow. There is no urgency to fix the obvious problems and no one is honest about the challenges.

Pros

The product is strong and being expanded in reasonable ways. Benefits are decent.

Cons

There is a bias in how work is assigned, with some people expected to always take on the most difficult assignments while the people who do the easier work get praised. Managers will also praise things like working too many hours, etc., then say but we don't want you to do that. There is a lack of leadership due to a focus on promoting the people who are cheerleaders instead of addressing issues that are being... raised again and again by members of the team. Raising issues is held against people. No good attempts are made to make the remote workers feel valued.

Advice to Management

Listen to the employees without being defensive or immediately dismissing anything that is said. Look at how work is assigned and check for favoritism. Value work over cheerfulness.

Pros

Great energy, the product could be good, but there's not a big enough market

Cons

Leadership hides behind the curtain and is not honest with where the company is at financially. Have been telling us we will IPO or be bought since I started there with no specifics. No path to promotion. Comp is below market average

Advice to Management

Be more transparent with where we are now and where we expect to go.

Pros

Fantastic product line, great culture, inspiring leadership team

Cons

Some growing pains, but all being addressed

Pros

Leading PSA solution, though a bit overpriced but well regarded in the marketplace with a strong relationship with Salesforce.

Cons

Semi-regular right sizing based on unreasonable financial targets and dysfunctional sales management organization. No real connection to field sales and interest in building a strong team.

Pros

Intentions are right and the leadership team is doing everything to launch this rocketship. Everyone in Sales celebrates your success and are willing to help. Sales enablement is doing everything to help be more efficient and are constantly introducing new tools. Great work/life balance.

Cons

Growing pains. It takes forever to find simple answers which leads to frustration.

Advice to Management

This is a great company with a great potential, the formula WAS right with the right direction but something has changed...its time to figure out what and fix it.
