Pros
Great office location downtown. Amenities like food and drink, gym membership, the normal stuff you’d expect at a tech company in Austin.
Kontras
Marc (CEO) is just about the worst person to be leading a company. He does not care about his staff, is incredibly cheap, and loves the fact that he can fire people like he always wanted to in Germany but couldn’t. It’s funny, I’ve spoken to several execs in Austin that have met/worked with him and almost every one of them said something negative about their experience with him. Also, who buys from mobile apps if it’s not Amazon? Really think about it for a second. Most customers are not successful on our platform. It’s a nice to have. We’re losing clients like crazy and reviews about us are terrible. Stay away, most companies in Austin that know Shopgate know that it’s a bad joke. Side note: the company routinely asks employees to post good reviews of the work environment on Glassdoor, Built In Austin, Best Places to Work, and so forth and then spiffs people for doing so. I would know, I’ve posted a “good” review on here because I was asked to. Be careful what you trust.
