Review from Marketing Dept
HG Insights Leadership team is a group of open minded, intelligent individuals who represent not only the company and its product portfolio but also collective values of the company.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Just being present and showing that they care about what is happening.
Common sense and alot of patience
Advice for the board: Replace CEO and bring in experienced C-level leaders who can drive success. The growth the company has seen in the past 18 months is due to acquiring a top-notch sales team based in London. The culture is toxic and politics are rampant.
Review from Product Dept
Onboarding new employees and setting expectations. EQ and sensitivity needs to be raised- some leaders have chips on their shoulders. The sales VP has a "perform or get fired" mentality, and doesn't invest in any enablement or training for the reps. Senior reps get priority on all sales opps.

Focused on winning together as a team
The passion and enthusiasm they bring to each initiative.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Raise EQ, get chips off shoulders. There are too many people in management roles who are unapproachable & mean. They assume their opinion is always right, and the opinions of others are invalid. Coworkers assume that others are out to get them—a toxic environment whe
Review from Sales Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
hard work pays off and the leadership team operates in full transparency
The support we give each other.
If someone is struggling, they are never put down -- by their peers or leadership. When we see one another struggling, we jump at the opportunity to help and bring someone along into success. We work hard, and we make sure we take the time to unwind as well. Vacation days are literally required.
HG Insights treats employees with respect at all times
The culture is based on respect for others and the community around us.

What did you like most about the interview process?
Got to know lots of people
Getting to know my key stakeholders
Review from Marketing Dept
I enjoyed speaking with several members of the different departments. Their comments helped to prepare for my role once I was hired.
Interviewers were welcoming and answered all questions
The interview process was focused on who we are, how we deal with problems and personal failures, and what motivates us. It was a group of real people interviewing a person, not just asking standard questions off a page.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
dont ask how old I am, and don't ask me questions based on the age that I tell you.
Review from Sales Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
Bringing value to our clients through the products we build
Having a great team of people to work with
Delivering value to our customers
Review from Marketing Dept
Learning new things and being challenged.
The opportunity to learn from people who have proven their skillset, and to teach the newcomers using the skills I have learned from our leaders.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Culture is extremely toxic and political. Replace CEO and build an experienced HR department (or outsource) and bring in C-level talent to re-configure the business
Review from Product Dept
Management out of touch, management inappropriate, processes/training/enablement not built out leading to more work on ICs, lack of sensitivity or pulse, an environment built on fear.
Review from Sales Dept
What do you like best about your company?
The people-driven culture, working with smart individuals and contributing to a cutting-edge industry.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
I would like to see better compensation compared to other companies, especially due to the cost of living in Santa Barbara.
