Pros

It somewhat pays the bills, and there are some really cool people here.

Cons

* Leadership is a mess: The decisions made by leadership, especially at the top, are all over the place. There’s no clear direction or consistency, and it’s obvious they don’t communicate well with each other. Upper management makes big decisions without consulting the people who actually have to deal with them, leaving middle managers in the dark. * Product integration is a disaster: The plan to bring the three platforms together was way too ambitious and it’s clearly not working. The platforms are still completely disconnected and there’s no real progress in sight. It’s obvious that management underestimated how complicated this would be, and it’s causing a lot of frustration for both employees and clients. * The AI push is all talk: The company’s big AI push is really just a bunch of buzzwords. Their slogan, “AI without the hype: transforming data into action with Contentsquare AI,” is exactly what it sounds like—hype. There’s no real substance behind it, and it’s only a matter of time before someone else codes up with an AI first solution that leaves this outdated platform behind. * The product is a nightmare: The product itself is hard to use, hard to learn, and hard to support. Clients are left hanging for months, without seeing any results. The company promises a lot but doesn’t deliver, and the lack of real support only makes things worse. * Pay is a mystery: Pay is completely unclear. There’s no transparency around how compensation works, and it feels like decisions are made on a whim. It creates a lot of frustration and leads to a sense that some people are getting paid unfairly. * Remote vs. in-office divide: There’s a noticeable divide between remote and in-office employees. Management seems to favor those who work in the office, and remote workers are often treated like second-class citizens. This causes tension and resentment within the company. * Positive reviews are misleading: A lot of the positive reviews on here are from newer employees who are just happy to have a job. They don’t see the full picture yet and are blinded by the excitement of their new position. People who’ve been here longer can see how much things have gone downhill. * The acquisitions are a mess: The acquisitions of Heap and Hotjar have been a disaster. Both of these companies had great cultures that were destroyed when Contentsquare took over. Instead of blending the best parts of those companies into something better, they’ve tried to force them into a generic corporate culture that clearly isn’t working. Many of the talented people have left, and the ones who’ve stayed are only here because the job market is tough—not because they believe in the company’s future. * The company’s mission doesn’t add up: For a company that claims to want to “make the digital world more human,” it’s pretty unbelievable that they can’t even make working at Contentsquare more human. If they can’t fix their own internal problems, how can they possibly help their customers?

I know these kinds of reviews come from a place of passion, and I hear you loud and clear. I also appreciate your virtual hug—sending one right back at you! We recognize that change brings challenges, especially as we continue integrating teams and evolving our strategy. While we acknowledge there is always room for improvement, we don’t believe this review fully reflects the reality of the situation. Regarding product integration, our Net Promoter Score (NPS) of around 40 is a strong indicator of our customer satisfaction. While bringing multiple platforms together is a complex process, we’ve made significant progress and remain committed to delivering a seamless experience. Similarly, our AI innovations are already having a strong impact on customer adoption and engagement, and we continue to refine and enhance these capabilities. We are also committed to creating a clear strategic vision, fostering collaboration across all levels, and ensuring our employees feel heard. Additionally, we understand that transparent communication around pay structures and career progression is critical to building trust and maintaining fairness. We are actively working to enhance clarity around compensation, ensuring that employees have a better understanding of how decisions are made and how they can grow within the company. We truly value the contributions of our employees and are committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels heard. If you have specific suggestions, we encourage you to reach out to your People Business Partner—we welcome constructive feedback and open conversations.

Pros

If you like to do nothing, this is the place for you

Cons

Leaving is difficult because they pay well. Managers don't really care anymore about anything, so it's an awful working environment.

Lack of honesty

Pros

Overall, that product is pretty good and the clients, that leverage the platform, do get great benefit from leveraging the insights

Cons

Typical window dressing internally from senior leadership around being transparent and honest. Have had several rounds of layoffs after claiming no layoffs were coming. Now, they are having a retention challenge as they are asking less people to do more work under extreme pressure to produce.
