Pros

VERY well-run company (great exec team) with a solid product that gets better every year. Very smart and talented staff, who when properly coached and motivated have unlimited potential. The sale to SAP was brilliant in a number of ways, including timing as the market begins to mature and consolidate. Compensation is competitive, and managers are competent. New career opportunities are dramatically expanded with the acquisition.

Cons

People who think that "snacks" are a legitimate topic for Glassdoor reviews (Pro or Con). Sure, the acquisition will bring changes (including a gradual change in culture as Gigya is assimilated into SAP/Hybris) and not everyone will be happy with them. So, the bad news is that Gigya will lose some of its great talent (most likely some of the younger stars who want to stay in a "startup" environment), but the lack of career path/mobility opportunities was formerly a Con and is now a Pro as part of SAP.

Pros

Significant investment made into staff, strategy and product to become a pioneer in the cIAM market. This investment internally enables Gigya to exceed its clients expectation and triumph over our competition. From technical, through to product and executive leadership, Gigya is definitely making the right moves to being recognised as global SaaS enterprise vendor. This is exciting and makes Gigya a great place to be!

Cons

Growing at an explosive rate will always present challenges. This sometimes is evident through its inconsistent approach to communication with its staff, however recently this has improved and is trending in the right direction.

Cons

- Quintessential greedy AF Silicon Valley startup founded by dubious Israel-based VC slaves - Founders & Executives who only care about "the exit" i.e. cashing out - Talented employees are treated as disposable trash (revolving door)
