Avantages
- Used to be a great company before the Vista Equity Partners acquisition (they have done ~3 rounds of layoffs since then) - Product is slick and easy to understand as a consumer (you've probably interacted with it) and it is better than most competitors - They have some great brand partners (L'Oreal, P&G, Pepsi, Nestle, etc.) to lean on - You'll get to wear a lot of hats and roll up your sleeves, be prepared to tackle many issues outside your role - There are a few good people still left there and there was a big focus on people/culture when building the team pre-acquisition
Inconvénients
- The business is going in the wrong direction and with goals continually being missed, Vista Equity Partners will take action sooner rather than later (sell-off, merger, etc.) and cut their losses - Revenue goals are unrealistic across the board and the leadership team has not taken ownership of the complete mishandling of goal-setting - The reality is that Jebbit's software sales spiked during the pandemic (due to many companies being forced to find new ways to interact with consumers digitally), and now that things are changing the high growth they saw is not sustainable (but they won't face that reality) - It has a great rating on Glassdoor, but the majority of the reviews are from earlier days pre-acquisition (when it actually was good) or curated by the team (so I'd be cautious) - Professional development has gone out the window and the company is in "survival" mode (they don't have the time to invest in you, so if you join, you better be prepared to deliver value right away, otherwise they will fire you or 'lay you off" and move on) - They continue to "shoot themselves in the foot" and toss people aside once they're done using them, so just make sure you look out for yourself - I would highly recommend to anyone considering Jebbit that you really dig into the weeds and make them answer the tough questions, do your research, ask about the layoffs, ask about the history, and just make sure you know what you're getting into (I would not recommend any of my friends to join)
