Pros

There are some talented people (however, most have already left, and the others will leave soon).

Cons

- The CEO is only good at 2 things: Raising VC funding and acquiring smaller companies. - The business is stagnating, the product is getting outpaced by competitors, and the team morale is at an all-time low. - Every winter, there is a big layoff round (10% of the team), and every summer there is a big hiring push. This happens every year, like clockwork. - The people team (HR) is comically out of touch. They make all the wrong moves, such as: slashing existing benefits, forcing a return-to-office, minimizing raises, laying off people, etc. - Leadership is complaining that they are tight on money while spending millions on lavish offices, grand off-sites, and dubious acquisitions. - Priorities change drastically every 6 months. Certain expensive acquisitions that were justified to conquer certain markets are forgotten and left to rot as leadership changes their mind.

Pros

- Great colleagues: honestly, the best part of working here is the people. My teammates are incredibly smart and actually kind, which makes a huge difference when things get busy, and you can sense that folks care about not just their work but also each other - Great product: It's a product that’s actually a market leader, especially after the Hotjar and Heap acquisitions. The product is genuinely great and usually ahead of competition, especially for a all-in-one solution - Work life balance: I really value the flexibility here. Having flexible remote work policies and a generous amount of paid time off has been a game-changer to prevent burnout and ensure I'm working at my best - Growth opportunities: if you're driven and can deliver impact, there's a lot of trust and growth opportunities you will receive that can help accelerate your career quite fast

Cons

I genuinely enjoyed working at Contentsquare from a product and team perspective. Unfortunately, I ran into a serious issue at the end of my employment related to the corporate bonus Despite the corporate bonus policy and related FAQs stating that I was eligible for a bonus calculated based on my individual performance and company performance, I ended up only receiving 50% of the bonus I was entitled to. Despite having clear evidence that the amount I was given is incorrect and several months of email exchanges with the HR team regarding this, half of my bonus is still missing. This is despite the fact that I provided clear evidence of the wrong calculation, their written policy states I should be eligible for the full bonus, and how Italian law applies in this scenario. This is for work I had already completed and was received a high performance rating for that period. In short, I did my part but the company refused to do their part in this exchange. To date, the underpayment has not been corrected. For a company that positions itself as people‑centric and data‑driven, this is disappointing. The documentation and numbers are clear, but the company has chosen to stand by an internal interpretation that benefits Contentsquare at the expense of its employees. Basically: - Bonus and variable compensation policy for leavers is not applied in line with the written Corporate Bonus Plan FAQs - HR unwilling to revisit an obviously inconsistent calculation, even when presented with detailed evidence - Risk for employees in Italy (and possibly elsewhere) that part of their earned bonus for already completed work (especially the company performance component) will be set to 0%

Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback and for your many years at CSQ. We are glad to hear that the strength of the team, our product, and the flexibility and growth opportunities stood out positively to you during your time here. We also want to acknowledge the concern you've raised regarding your bonus. Matters related to compensation, policies, and local regulations are complex and are handled through a more formal process and private channel. While we can't address these cases publicly, this feedback is taken seriously and shared with the appropriate teams. Thanks again for raising this perspective. We highly encourage you to reach out for a continued discussed through the appropriate channels.

Thank you for taking time to leave a review and for your years you spent at CSQ. We're glad to hear you appreciated your time in Tel-Aviv and enjoyed the opportunities to connect with global colleagues in our recent kickoff in Berlin. We also hear your concern about inclusion and how belonging was experienced while you were here. As a global company, it’s important that people from different backgrounds feel included and able to grow, and it’s difficult when that isn’t how things come across. Feedback like this is taken seriously and shared with leadership as we continue working to strengthen inclusion and fairness across the company.
