Pros

Infusionsoft is great at hiring smart, talented people. Many of them are a pleasure to work with and make for true friends outside of work. You'll learn a lot and it will all be applicable in the outside world.

Cons

Top leadership has turned whole departments sour. My former VP plays blatant favorites, which you can see as he hires old pals. He also has a tendency to micromanage the managers who report to him to the point that they are forced to micromanage their direct reports. It appears the managers at many levels do not find fault with your work, but focus on employees’ personal traits. The management is known to call out publicly minor errors such as typos, and is known to brashly call out small mistakes of employees two levels below them. General observation notes that a specific type of employee is desired at Infusionsoft and it is not based on performance. If an employee does not fit the criteria, they can expect to be harangued until the resulting stress is visible. This appears to take place more with women, and is evident by a recent mass exodus of women from Infusionsoft. The way in which problems and suggested solutions have to be presented at Infusionsoft leave little room for tactful, honest assessment. If you do not present or counter Information in the Infusionsoft way, you can quickly and easily be branded as a negative person, a cynic, or even as against the company’s values or way forward. It creates a culture where people are afraid to truthfully address problems. The most troubling thing is that the brunt of the negativity appears to be directed at the women in the department. I anecdotally heard from about half the women in my large department the kinds of unfair behavior, like mentioned above, that was directed at them. If it was happening to men, which it certainly could have been, it was not readily communicated by them. No employee privately reporting problems felt safe coming forward. Even as I was leaving, I was worried about retaliation or reputation damage if I passed on real concerns to trusted leadership, a real fear based on past demonstrated behavior. During my tenure at Infusionsoft the company that I was hired into slowly morphed into the current negative environment. The company that I started with is the company I loved working for. Change is one thing, and is to be expected, but things now seem pretty dire, both culturally and financially. It is clear that the CEO Clate cares about his company and his people. He is approachable, though I’m not sure how effective he is. Company-wide, years of mismanagement on many fronts and levels are coming to a distressing head. The company appears to be at a fork between turnaround and going out of business.

Pros

- cereal bar and soda machine - nice perks like weekly on-site car-wash - cares about their customers - unlimited PTO

Cons

I want to say first of all that I left on very good terms. I have learned a lot at this company and I made a lot of friends. I do want Infusionsoft to succeed and I think they might. But with Infusionsoft it's always three steps forward, two back. My deciding to leave this company took place over a few months, but really, the writing was on the wall. The first problem is that Infusionsoft is (was?) largely directionless. I worked on a project for 4 years building an important piece of technology from scratch, only to see it thrown away because Infusionsoft had no coherent product plan. There is lot more focus now on the core product and they have brought in architects to fix it, but the improvements of note are more UX related, while the underlying technology still has issues. With the shift away from Infusionsoft's 4-year experiment, I wasn't interested in going back to an old codebase where I wouldn't be learning much. Another problem at Infusionsoft is that how well you do is more of a matter of perception than the actual work you do. This is a major problem. It also affects pay increases and promotions; the process isn't fair, since a lot of it is based on the aforementioned perception. Standards aren't uniformly enforced either. Even if you're occasionally identified as a good performer based on the work you do, if aren't vocal and don't toot your own horn, you're unlikely to advance quickly -- you have to be your own cheerleader, and for people who are more interested in focusing on the actual work and demonstrating their value that way, there isn't time for that. The final straw for me was the attitude I was getting from new management at Infusionsoft in the PD department regarding time off and working from home. I had been regularly identified as one of the top 20% performers in the department, but in spite of that, I was facing pointed questions from new management about the time I am taking off (even after I took some for health reasons) and my WFH schedule -- note; there were no complaints about my work or its quality, or my productivity. Management will also actively discourage you from pursuing higher education and are unwilling to be flexible with your schedule in this regard -- I had a manager actually tell me this -- they had been approached by someone who wanted to pursue a Masters, but were told that the department wouldn't support that (previously this was never an issue).

Pros

Unlimited PTO is the only one

Cons

Looking for a sign whether you should work there? Well here it is, don't, this is the most toxic environment I've ever seen. The software is a joke, the corporate finances are a joke, the leadership is a joke. Outside the building, Infusionsoft is a joke, everyone in the tech world rolls their eyes when you mention it. There are a few loud cheerleaders out there trying to protect their reputation but trust me 9 out of 10 people you talk to who have left the company have nothing but negative experiences to say about it, backstabbing, betrayals, drama, constant layoffs, high turnover put everybody in a panic all the time nobody can just relax and do good work and you cannot trust the leadership or what they say at all. Core values are used against employees who have fallen out of favor with their current manager for whatever reason (or no reason at all). If you plan to interview ask for their employee retention rates it's even worse than their customer churn which is horrible. They won't ever publish these numbers since they want to keep up the charade that it has a great culture. Forget it, move on, don't waste your time here like I have, we are all desparately trying to get off this sinking ship.
