Thank you for your review. We are glad that you see our commitment to innovation and product excellence of our marketing platform. We are sorry you seem to have mixed opinions on our commercial organization and compensation structure. We are an ambitious company with demanding targets, with over 30 % year-on-year growth over the last few years, and this wouldn't be possible without the global majority of our sales talent nearly meeting or even exceeding the quota. Please also do take into consideration the fact, that we invest a lot of time and resources in sales enablement and provide any new joiner with an extensive onboarding & training period before a quota is assigned. As for internal communication improvement, we are also committed to elevate it with some initiatives such as company all-hands call and regional meetings/ town halls which are being rolled out this year. Thank you for highlighting these experiences, we will always take on board feedback to make positive changes to our business. Feel free to get in touch with our Corporate HR Team at hr_hq@emarsys.com to discuss anything further. -Emarsys HR Team

Big egos and lack of transparency

Pros

Client success and implementation teams are very strong. Has some good clients and decent (albeit extremely costly) product for the retail industry

Cons

Peter Principle very visible in top leadership. Most top leadership has been with the company for ages and deem themselves as "untouchable". New business is abysmal because product has been over-engineered for the retail/ecommerce industry but cannot compete in any other industries. Product is severely lagging and pales in comparison against Klaviyo, Braze, and other more modern, nimble offerings. The brand also doesn't have the same brand value and recognition as Salesforce and Adobe, yet is going after the same customers. Sales teams in APAC region feels like a revolving door due to lack of transparency, support and bad egos on the leadership team.

Pros

The team is so tight that we truly are working together so we have a great work environment. These is then spread to our customers as they are getting the best experience from sales to support. Work Life balance is very good. amazing management team.

Cons

No Company Credit Card, so you need to pay for any expenses yourself and then reimburse. not a major issue, just can be inconvenient. Would prefer the team to work in the office to create energy.
