1. The interview process is long and overly complex 2. The recruiter offered a higher amount in the interview and the offer was substantially lower 3. On the CS team, you will receive minimal to no help from leadership. When you ask a question you are made to feel incompetent for asking the question. And with incredibly complex problems from the client, it feels like you are free spinning in a vortex with no assistance in sight. 4. Executive leadership does not think that anyone cares about websites anymore. Which is staggering when services offered on the site are no longer offered. And the website is overly ambiguous on any services provided. 5. I worked on a new product launch where leadership did not consider a paid media strategy for the launch, Where the President of the agency was not convinced that paid media would be beneficial. The President of a marketing agency... 6. A former colleague of mine now runs a Fractional Product Marketing consulting and ran a very similar product launch previously. I asked for the agency leadership to bring her on as we had recently lost or had fired our entire marketing team save one new marketer. I brought her up from March to December of 2023 before they brought on the assistance. Once she was brought on, we received incredibly conflicting information on the functionality of the product from being only a marketing ops analytics tool to being able to provide sales ops functionality. Where it couldn't. The leadership team then stopped paying for her services. When a request for payment was received, the agency leadership filed a counter suit for revenue the product did not drive. When we had no paid media because the president wasn't convinced it would work. When we spend 9-10 months with no product marketer and no dedicated marketer. And consistent conflicting direction and wasted funds going to conferences for revenue ops where the tool does not offer any functionality for sales.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your concerns; I'm sorry you had a below-average experience. While I can't address everything, I'll share some insights to shed some light on your experience and provide context for other readers. Our recruiters are directed to give a salary range; only hiring managers can provide a specific number. Salary decisions come down to our overall evaluation of the role and the individual. I would advise anyone not to accept an offer under the circumstances you described; I'm looking into this to ensure our procedures are being followed correctly. As I read this, it's clear that some assumptions have been made without full insight into the operations and executive leadership decision process. It sounds like you feel you should have been consulted more often about executive-level decisions, but you weren't in a leadership role. From speaking with my leadership team, I learned that your manager doesn't have a record of you raising these concerns while you were an employee. We can't take action if we don't know there's a concern. We update the team every month during our all-hands meeting on what's been done, where we're heading, and why, with the intent to be as open as possible. There is a Q&A at the end of each meeting where employees regularly ask questions about topics like what you noted here. We also hold skip-level meetings, weekly 1-1, where topics include not only activities but also how the team member is feeling in their role, about the company, if they have any needs to ensure personal success, any issues they may be having and the manager will share feedback both positive and corrective to ensure we’re all on the same page. Clients like our work, so we're growing quickly. Over the past five months, we hired 23 new team members. During that time, 10 team members departed. Half of those team members left for personal reasons (eg retiring) or because they were taking a new role elsewhere—with our full support. We have an escalation-based process to ensure no one is surprised to be terminated for performance. This process includes regular upfront conversations and feedback when things are not going well (the team members have the opportunity to provide context and feedback); this is documented in our HR system, where we document transparently what is and what is not working, the coaching plan, training and support, and clear expectations to get anyone in danger of not making it the opportunity to improve and be successful. There are a few exceptions: no improvement is seen after coaching and support or additional training is provided, and no-shows (eg, a person that disappears for several workdays without notice and is unresponsive to their manager's outreach) because this directly impacts the well-being of the rest of the team and our client's success and satisfaction. In response to #6, I can only say that your description is inaccurate and misleading. From our internal surveys and the other Glassdoor reviews, your experience appears to be the exception rather than the norm—and I'm sorry you were so unhappy. We work hard to meet or exceed the expectations of our team members, and I will keep your experience in mind as we continue that work. I wish you well in your career and hope your next manager will give you the experiences you want.
