Q&A With Perfect Sense Digital Employees

The people are all really cool. Some of the best coworkers in the area.

Top-notch client list and some really smart people taking care of those clients.

The free lunchs are really nice. They're not just sandwiches and pizza too they're real buffet-style lunches.

Good, it’s a very professional but fun atmosphere

The space is designed to encourage interaction and provide a comfortable workspace. Most people are collaborative and supportive.

It's your standard subtly intense tech company vibe. A lot of young post-grads working for old-school AOL executives. Everybody's happy and smiley as long as everything stays perfect.

The ones that have been around a long time are great, and some of the best in the industry. But there’s a revolving door of new people as well.

Perfect Sense does a good job of hiring very smart people, and most are extremely committed to customer success.

Very nice, honestly some of the best people I've ever worked with.

You’ll be tested on whatever you say you can do.

Really depends on the position you are looking for, but you should expect very specific questions about related past experience.

Depending on what your experience looks like, they might test you. Don't embellish on your resume, they'll notice.

Preliminary phone interview with recruiter, screening interview with hiring manager, and then in-person interview with usually three or four senior team members.

Depends on the position, but typically what you would expect.

Usually a couple of phone screenings followed by an on-site visit with back-to-back interviews. If they like you they'll be quick about an offer.

Their really growing their on-demand business, but their sales team is horrific. Constant change and no direction.

Customer retention is strong and the technology is top-notch. Sales and marketing has seen a lot of turnover, so growth is not what it could be.

The sales department has had a lot of difficulty getting off the ground. Most reps only last a couple of months. The rest of the company knows this so there's definitely a divide.

Idk, more specialized job descriptions and assignments. A lot of people do a lot of things.

The culture is strong and very focused on giving back to the community. Support for the Special Olympics and other causes is strong throughout the company. Employees are very supportive of each other.

Honestly as long as you do your job it's a great company culture and a good place to work. Everybody is inclined to be nice.

David Gang runs the company with an iron fist. He’s a genius and built most of the company on his own but it’s also his way or the highway.

He is very well-connected and very knowledgeable, and he can be very authoritarian. To be successful in the company, you need to follow his lead and do as your told. Sometimes, mixed messages are delivered from leadership, or there is a lack of clarity that creates problems down the road.

The CEO is very active in just about every decision at the company. He's a great guy and clearly knows what he's talking about. But it's his way or the highway so get used to it.

A few but only for specific reasons.

A few

Yes, but most people are in VA HQ and company culture/perks center there

Good. Do your job and you’ll be fine.

Depends on which department you're in, but generally pretty good. Sometimes there will be big pushes around a launch, but as long as the clients are happy, you'll be happy.

Whatever the CEO wants to do

Everything is through the CEO. Everything.

Fair vacation policy - 2 weeks + the last week of the year off, to start.

Very good. Number of days vary but you can expect at least 15, and as long as you submit at least a week in advance there will be no questions asked.

There are very high expectations. You will be constantly challenged, sometimes unfairly. But if you succeed, it is high reward.

Work hard. Get paid. Repeat.

The perks. It’s like working for Google except nobody’s ever heard of Perfect Sense.

Fun, it’s got a good group of regulars who make it fun for everyone else

I don’t feel secure. There’s a lot of pressure to succeed and a lot of people don’t make it.

People who are close to the CEO. It’s not a nepotism thing but he does control every aspect of the company and being on his good side is the best thing you can do.

Artificially good. They like feedback but it’s not always heeded.

Good. It’s a cool company but it’s got a lot of growing to do.

Not difficult at all. Just do your job well and you can leave at a normal time.

Free lunch is real nice. And not just pizza and sandwiches, most of the time they are nice catered meals. PS also has great tickets to local sporting events and a membership at a luxury gym. PS treats their employees very well but expects much in return.

Standard for the tech industry. Mostly caucasian or asian, healthy balance of men and women, very few people of color although they’ve been trying to fix that.

Good ish, you know it depends on what team you’re on but overall people are happy to work there and want to succeed.

Two floors, top floor has snacks, espresso bar, and lounge areas. Open cubicles all around.
