Pluspunten

I worked at SocialChorus for over a year, working closely with every department and personally interacting with the majority of the people within the company. Having worked at multiple startups in San Francisco, and I can tell you with full conviction that SocialChorus is the kind of place that will let you own your own destiny. Managers work with their teams collaboratively to decide which hill to take, and then everyone gets to think and work creatively towards hitting that target. Management at the company treats its employees (prospective, current, and former) with the utmost respect. The CEO is not trying to flip the company for a quick buck, and he works hard to build a sustainable business that makes progress toward aggressive, but reasonable, goals. You will work hard at SocialChorus, and for that you will be rewarded with increasing responsibility and a real voice in the direction of your team and the direction of the company.

Minpunten

The company went through some significant transitions, as many startups do, in 2014 and early 2015. The management team has matured a great deal- both in terms of shifts in philosophy as well as through changes to its roster. These transitions are never easy, and this one certainly took its toll on the company at large. The management team has in the past been slow to adjust to changes in a rapidly evolving market— particularly it has been slow to close doors on some opportunities to focus on the most important ones. That said, I truly believe that SocialChorus is in the best place it has ever been in terms of its team, its focus, and its ever increasing track record of success. The company is ready to leave it’s competition in the dust and fully deliver on its mission.

Pluspunten

Fast-paced environment with talented, motivated people who genuinely care about the company's success and customers. There are opportunities to make a meaningful impact, take ownership, and grow professionally. Leadership is focused on innovation and continuous improvement, and employees are encouraged to contribute ideas and challenge the status quo. The culture is collaborative, supportive, and driven by results.

Minpunten

The pace can be demanding at times, and priorities may shift as the company continues to evolve and respond to market opportunities. Success requires adaptability and a willingness to embrace change, but that also creates opportunities to learn and grow.

Pluspunten

Good work life balance, with unlimited PTO for US based employees. The product is used, and relied on by some big companies, so there is a real impact to the work.

Minpunten

After a string of disappointing C suite leaders, and several waves of turnover, both voluntary and not, the Product and Engineering organization is a mess. A culture of fear and mistrust has been building, creating a generally unpleasant place to work. Outside of the leadership issues, the teams are all remote, with many spread across global timezones. This limits collaboration and encourages solo development, which has had a negative impact on product quality. Leading to a high level of quiet burnout that people do not feel safe sharing. Overall there is a feeling that Firstup has squandered these past few years. There is a growing feeling of helplessness, and my sense is, if left unaddressed, will change it from just being an unpleasant place to work to something much worse.
