Old Boys’ Club: Firing the Good, Promoting the Favorites

Business outlook

Pros

-Fully remote -Good benefits (food benefit) -Global clients, so meet industry leaders -Mexico trip

Cons

There are too many issues to list because this company is going downhill fast. Muck Rack only cares about pleasing the firm that invested in them and trying to catch up to competitors, but they completely overlook their own employees. Even though they call themselves a “remote company,” all the executive roles are filled by folks from New York. They’ve totally changed the promotion structure, no chance to move up unless you’re drinking the Kool-Aid. High performance? If you’re a woman and not in NYC, good luck with that. HR is a joke; any negative feedback gets ignored, and they’ll suck up to executives to protect them from consequences. They fire people without warning, then blast the whole company an email with no chance for anyone to say goodbye. Salaries are way below the sales median, and commissions change constantly with no explanation.If you are midmarket, get used to 50% of quota being the norm here. The company culture feels more like high school than a professional environment. Long-time employees can be cliquey and unwelcoming, and some of the “OG” team members are downright rude or even bully newer hires.

Toxic leadership, great product

Pros

Remote work was great and decent salary

Cons

The product itself is strong but unfortunately, the management and culture make it nearly impossible to succeed here. New KPIs were rolled out without any proper setup, communication, or training, leaving employees set up for failure. The targets were unrealistic and unsustainable, and when teams inevitably struggled, leadership’s response was to implement more systems and push people onto “performance improvement plans” instead of taking accountability for broken systems or getting our feedback. Countless meetings were spent obsessing over numbers rather than recognizing effort, collaboration, or growth. When an entire team misses target, that’s not a motivation issue. Yet instead of listening, leadership doubled down on blame. Morale is extremely low. Many managers and talented team members have already left due to burnout and hypocrisy…they preach values like inclusivity and transparency but rarely embody them. The sales culture feels more like a fraternity than a professional team, and unless you’ve been there since the start or early years, your voice doesn’t hold much weight here. Sad. Many complained about a leader who was dismissive, controlling, and disrespectful. Even after multiple documented complaints supported by facts, leadership failed to act. There’s no room for open dialogue, growth, or compromise. In short, this company could thrive if it treated people like adults and equals - with the same care and respect it expects from them. Until that changes, it’s a great product led by very poor leadership.

Struggling sales org

Recommend

Business outlook

Pros

Solid product-market fit and some talented individual contributors. Solid benefits and remote flexibility.

Cons

Sales leadership lacks experience and direction. There's been significant turnover across the GTM org, including many well-respected managers and VPs. Leadership is actively reducing headcount through performance pressure and quiet exits instead of transparent layoffs. The sales culture often feels immature and cliquish, with a frat-like dynamic that doesn’t reflect the professionalism you'd expect from a company at this stage.
