Pluspunten

Its a "fun" and "hip" place to work. They provide food and beer. There are/were some seriously talented people at the company. If your looking for short term work, this is the place to be.

Minpunten

You will be given unrealistic sales goals. You are expected to work long hours. Devon preaches about the work/life BLEND, but what he really he means is work 9-6 at the office, then continue when you get home. Devon has a massive ego and has no problems showing it. The BIG red flag is that more than half of the company has left or been let go since I left, including a founding member. They will suck you in with their core values, but don't be fooled - if you don't meet their unrealistic expectations, you will become just another former Insightpool employee. Based on speaking with many of my fellow former co-workers, the company doesn't last for much longer before they run out of investment money. So steer clear - there are much better company's to work for.

Thanks for leaving this and allowing for us to address highly specific points. With respect to work/life BLEND that is absolutely a term we practice. There is flexibility in working from off site and not tracking vacation, and with that flexibility means we absolutely still engage off hours. Most do in the modern world of smartphones. It's interesting that you are calling the CEO a coward...from behind an anonymous review engine--but we invite you to send him a note directly. Someone that starts something from scratch and risks everything for a company is not what we would refer to as that..quite the opposite. We wish you the best in your next endeavor and should you ever like to provide your feedback in a more constructive manner we are happy to hear from you directly. Thank you

Pluspunten

The main reason I enjoyed my time at Insightpool was the people - everyone's incredibly motivated, kind, and passionate about the company. It is a great working environment that has very challenging work while maintaining a (mostly) stress-free and fun atmosphere. The hectic schedule and ever-changing responsibilities that come with a startup may be a turn off to some. However, it was a perfect fit for me as everything felt so much less mundane and way more exciting than a standard job.

Minpunten

Atlanta traffic is really bad, that's really the only negative I have

Pluspunten

My coworkers - The company is filled with intelligent, creative, and hardworking people. It's apparent from Day 1, that the people who are successful here work hard for themselves (they are naturally driven), for their team (they build others up, and they're quick to offer help), and for the company (they know they are a part of building something big). Access to upper management - I personally know and have spent time with everyone in the company regardless of their title. Company Culture - We make it a priority to get to know each other. There's at least one social event a month. Everyone is inclusive. We celebrate wins - These could be big celebrations or they could be small celebrations. They could be company celebrations or they could be individual celebrations. They could be career related celebrations (for example - workiversaries) or just general life celebrations (birthdays, bridal showers, etc.). If you're motivated by awards and rewards, you'll really enjoy this aspect of the company.

Minpunten

You will not be happy here: if you're driven mostly by money, if you're uncomfortable with change, or if you expect 9-5 hours. There are days when half of the company is at the office past 7. But there are also days when most of the company leaves before 5. It just depends. We're also making transitions constantly. Every two weeks there's a new face in the office or a new process put in place or a new role responsibility, etc. Some people thrive off of change, and some people really dislike it. You just have to know what type of person you are, and then take this into consideration when applying here.
