Q&A With TrendKite Employees

Great for a startup.

It's unhealthy. They have incredibly high, undefined expectations. There is a lot of pressure to perform, but little support. It's easy to get wrapped up in the "culture" and fell pressured to do more, more, more. Most sales people work from 7:45-5:15pm-ish and take their computers home at night to do more prospecting, emailing, etc.

We have a London office, but we don't usually have remote only employees.

No, not in the sales department.

Very pragmaticly, based on need. Many promotions from within though.

It's erratic. I worked there for 2 years, and never figured out what the requirements were for promotion. When I asked the management, they couldn't tell me either.

There's not really one. Management prefers people to work together at the office. People are generally trusted to work from home when necessary, but have been asked to limit WFH days whenever possible.

We are one of the fastest growing SAAS businesses I know of, so if you want to contribute it is very stable / secure.

Open honest communication, ability to articulate your experiences well, and showing your strengths and willingness to learn and grow technically.

Working with awesome people.

Very challenging, ambiguous problems but fun.

Fun. Think brewery or vinyard tour or get together for crazy events (star wars movie the week it's out, bubble soccer, etc)

Steady work, 2-3 day turn around on most features.

We get bonuses based on company performance, but raises are infrequent.

Awesome. We have regular one on ones with managers, a weekly company stand-up, and company transparency when it comes to financials and company direction.

Public Relations experience would have helped some.

A lot of diversity in engineering.

Stocked food, drinks, 401k, standard benefits, ping pong, foosball, company outings, lots of growth opportunity as they tend to hire within.

As we are a growing company that is disrupting the industry, it's good.

Morale is good. I work a normal work week

Great leadership, decisions are weighed with data driven metrics.

One of the best teams I've worked with. Everyone is smart, nice, and interested in the companies success.

On paper, it's great. They have an "open" vacation policy; however, due to the nature of the monthly sales cycles, no one on the sales team felt like they could take a vacation longer than a day without missing quota.
