Pros

Used to be a great place until those that built it were pushed aside.

Cons

They are lost in the woods. At every fork in the road whether it be market direction, product or people they make the wrong choice.

Pros

I was recruited to work at SkillSurvey when they were starting an Inside Sales Department . The job was to provide demos and calls for Sales to sell to. The team worked hard to drum up leads through phone calls and emails and was quite successful. The inside sales department was treated different and they had a different set of rules for the inside sales teams than other departments. We had to be in the office Monday to Friday from 8:30 to 5:00PM while every other department was able to come and go as they pleased. After bad reviews our team provided we were then allowed to work from home 2 days a week which was great. The benefits at the company were great, they offered unlimited PTO and if you chose the High Deductible health plan they paid your monthly premiums. We had limited support from the Marketing department and the quality of the leads were not great when we started but as time was going on, it was getting better and the department was successful and getting great “Qualified” leads with decision makers for the sales team.

Cons

The company is owned by investors and when you are part of a company like that you never know when the shoe is going drop and what “New” plans upper management might have up their sleeves to increase sales. We would pass great leads to the sales department and they would then disappear and never get closed unless it was an easy sell for then. They never changed the way they sold the software from the time the company was a startup and prospects never heard of reference checking software and they never shorten the selling cycle so closing deals took forever. Upper management always has a new scheme to please their investors and it usually fell to the lowest people in the company to pay the price even if they were doing a great job and never some of the upper management executives who actually could be a big part of the problem. Be aware that if you work for this company you could be attending a company event the beginning the week and getting a congrats email from senior management on providing a great lead to sales to close and then on Friday unceremoniously get a call from the same Management team telling you they are letting you go and the rest of the inside sales team and 5 seconds later they are off the phone and leaving you to deal with HR. My advice to anyone wanting to work with this company is to proceed with caution, this company has a dark side.
