Wonderful people and product
|
|
- The founders are truly fantastic human beings. They care deeply for their staff and want everyone to feel that they are a part of something.
- The product is great and there is a huge focus on shipping features and updates so that it's always improving.
- Excellent work/life balance, flexible work days, WFH policies
- Great benefits and PTO. I had used 4 weeks of PTO when I had a family emergency in Australia and they insisted that I fly home for 10 days and not worry about work. It was incredibly kind and made me feel valued.
|
- There was a little bit of turmoil when I was there due to some old-school marketing/sales leaders who are no longer at the company. I don't believe that's an issue anymore.
- Competitors have a lot of cash to burn and don't hesitate to do so, which can make marketing a little difficult.

Open, Honest, Fast, and Fun
|
|
The company, though much bigger than when it was founded, is still at a stage where most people do a lot more than their "role" might otherwise indicate, and there is always an opportunity to learn about something new. The team across the board is incredibly talented, knowledgable, and in some cases rather notable (especially in Engineering, where several members cut their teeth at Microsoft during the dawn of the consumer internet). Finally, there is a comedic sensibility that consistently provides entertainment, and tends to bring us all together.
|
During the product development lifecycle bottlenecks occasionally occur as a side effect of team size, and as a details oriented company we sometimes seem to miss the forest for the trees.

We might do well to reconsider our polish bar, for lack of a better term, in service of not only delivering sensible software faster, but also in alleviating load on "critical path" team members.

The Ideal Workplace
|
|
Rival IQ checks off all the boxes of my ideal job. The people are top notch - smart, dedicated, talented and most importantly great to work alongside. Two, the technology is strong - great existing product and significant opportunities to continue innovation and leverage emerging tech. Three, the problem we solve in the market is real and that is validated by strong customer loyalty. Four, there is just great work-life balance - the leadership team puts a priority on that and encourages and enables us to strike that balance. Overall, this is a really unique place.
|
The new customer growth has been slower than expected which impacts the feeling of success and potential investments that can be made to further grow the company.

Keep the transparency and great culture you have developed and continue to work with everyone to figure out how to grow the new customer sales with a mix of people and product investment. This is a great opportunity and we are well positioned to be the market leader.

Fantastic work-life balance
|
|
Leadership at Rival IQ is respectful and supportive of work-life balance for everyone here. I've never worked at a company where we have a minimum vacation requirement (2 weeks btw) to make sure we're taking time out to regroup and refocus. No hard feelings when you're feeling under the weather and need to work from home (cuts down on getting sick from coworkers too!)
Everyone here is hard-working and friendly, and they often go out of their way to help you finish up projects. We're always testing things out. I've worked at a startup before, and this place has really gone out of their way to instill a positive, fun culture.
Weekly lunches and WFH on Fridays (Mondays too if you're an engineer) are a bonus!
|
We need to encourage more happy hour participation! That's it.

Keep up the weekly all-company meetings. It helps keep everyone on the same page and understand what's going on in the other teams. Weekly lunches are awesome!

Growing while maintaining real work / life balance
|
|
Smart, reasonable colleagues with a common purpose and the experience to succeed.
|
The decision to self-fund the company means that growth is a little slower ... but also means every employee has a bigger stake in the company's success.
