Believe the negative reviews on here, I should of.
|
|
That I wasn't there for long.
|
There is a word limit, so I will make it short. They truly do not care about their employees, lack vision, lack understanding of basics of managing others on a personal level, purposefully requested my friends not to apply to work here.

Solid company, great leadership, outstanding experience
|
|
One of the best work/life balance I have ever experienced - certainly demanding of excellence but complete expectation that people's life is more important. One of the most generous benefits packages I have seen - full family health and dental, vision, insurance etc for a very small amount of employee contribution. Outstanding executive team - every single one of them will call you up, regularly, just to ask how you are doing, but more than that - they simply know their jobs and how to get them done - no silly expectations like doing 150% of revenue during the worst downturn in global history - instead "let's use the time to skill-up".
If you want to work hard but still see your family, have a visible career progression path, be able to voice ideas and actually see them become reality and go to sleep knowing the company is solid then this company is for you.
|
Every company has cons but I really struggle to think of any when it comes to Ensighten. Maybe with them being small then your role is much more than your role - you are expected to be involved in other things too - but honestly, this is probably a positive to many people - it is to me.

Overall great company, with one caveat
|
|
I genuinely loved working at Ensighten. They have the best work/life balance of any company I've ever been at. If you have appointments or a schedule that requires you to be away at times during the day Ensighten can usually accommodate that. As long as your work gets done they're very flexible.
The engineers you'll work with there are top notch. They have very smart people doing complex work. Ensighten's products all have a high degree of customization and as a result of that you have to learn a lot to build out the structure and features to accommodate that. They're friendly, fun people to work with too. I still keep in touch with several friends from the company.
It might seem like a small detail but Ensighten's internal systems and equipment are really good as well. Your email and work chat are always going to work, and you'll have sufficiently powered hardware to work with that you can use as you see fit to get the job done. Not a lot of over-the-shoulder monitoring.
The top management of the company is really good too. That wasn't always the case but the current c-level execs have all been in their positions several years now and they've got the company on a good course. The CTO is very busy but will gladly have a meeting with you if you request one, and will take any feedback you give seriously. The CEO I haven't interacted with a lot but each time he remembered my name and made sure to greet me.
Really I feel like Ensighten is a good place to work and I'd recommend it to pretty much anyone. There is one slight caveat to that, which I'll spell out in the cons section.
|
Most of the cons with Ensighten are pretty minor, but I do have one big con that I'll put at the end.
The Tech Ops team that makes software choices for the rest of the company sometimes need to be pushed on to get the full answers or help with their projects. They never turn people away, but unless you set up meetings with them you're likely to get partial answers. It gives the impression that they don't feel other teams concerns are worth their time. That said they're a busy group and and they still try to help so I consider it pretty minor.
Ensighten tries to say it's a startup, but in my opinion the company isn't really a startup anymore. They have the enthusiasm of a startup, but the projects and products there have been around for some time and there really isn't the opportunity to make major changes or pivot the way a startup would. Ensighten has established themselves, and that's not a bad thing.
Unfortunately, I do have to list one major con. One of Ensighten's products is called "Manage" and I have to advise anyone reading this to avoid that team unless they can confirm a change in management sometime after this review. My coworkers on that team were some of the best people I ever worked with. However a new manager was brought on to the team and he is very toxic. Playing favorites with employees, lying about performance, and airing personal criticisms during standup were just a few ways he would cause trouble on the team. It got so bad that I filed an HR complaint and asked to switch teams. The HR complaint included incidents covering a 5 month time span and included chat links to show what was actually said. Even though it was just 5 months, the complaint was 16 pages long. After filing it, if this manager caused another incident he'd then go through chat and delete messages in the hope of avoiding future HR reports. He was a real piece of work.
Ensighten was very responsive about the issues and moved me to another team. But the damage had been done and I felt I had to leave the company because of that manager. I was not the only employee that had a hard time with him so my expectation would be if he continues to treat others so poorly that he'd be moved into a different role in the company.
To be plain, if you're looking to work at Ensighten I must advise avoiding the Manage team. The rest of the company really is great to work for though and I'd have no issue recommending any other position there.

I would give this company negative stars if I could.
|
|
Working from home, since there was never a real office to go to.
|
The CEO, CRO, and CTO are in their own world hoping Ensighten will be purchased even thought they have developed a weak platform around "marketing security". The on-boarding experience is terrible, I had to reach out to people within the company and ask them to train me. I had zero support from my direct support, the CRO of Ensighten and he was dismissive, rude, demeaning toward me every single time I spoke to him. Even though I was hired on as a sales person I was asked to perform marketing functions such as writing competitive analysis on our biggest competitors, even though we had a director of marketing who could not for the life of her write a single thing. Her frequent response was, "I am not technical and can not write about such things." This was after she had been at Ensighten for a year. My response was, "I thought I was hired here to bring in revenue not do your job." The CTO was extremely unprofessional, only stayed at hostels when he went on business trips to save the company money, and talked down to anyone he didn't like.

There is a reason the nickname of Ensighten is "En-frighten". You do not invest in or value your employees. You make up excuses as to why they should be fired based on who at the C-level likes or dislikes someone. You should take a page out of Tealium's book as far as how to build a product and manage your employees.

Not as good as it should be and used to be
|
|
Great team to work with in the UK (not the management side though)
|
Not at all valued by management, you get the feeling that they would rather you weren't there to make the books look better for possible sale.
No real direction and lack of focus on existing clients.

Ensighten is going downhill at some speed!
|
|
- Some great people there who are so helpful and friendly.
- Work life balance is really good. Although being a US company expect to get some emails very late at night.
- Get to travel to different places.
- The services team is fantastic in the UK and really are the best part of the entire company.
|
- Very secretive and never really tell you what's happening in the company.
- The entire company is focused on sales, therefore if you don't work in sales you're not valued in the slightest.
- If you disagree with management (anyone in the c-level) expect to be reprimanded or fired.
- Spend thousands on useless stuff and then refuse to discuss salary increases.
- The office feels a little stuck in the past, the leadership are very conservative.
- Certain members of staff get a free reign to do things, yet when you complain about unprofessionalism you are the one that gets told to change.
- Basically, the leadership are looking to sell up and get out and it's a bit of a waste of time for anyone to join at this stage.
