      Dear former colleague, Thank you so much for your positive review! Our diverse and international team is indeed one of the things we are really proud of here at GSG. As many other start-ups we are not working on a 9 to 5 schedule. We might as well admit to that but at the same time, our employees work-life-balance is super important to us. This is why we are really trying to enforce a trust-based culture by having flexible working hours and 2 home office days every month. There are always stressful phases, e.g. Black Friday Season but we encourage managers as well as employees to monitor the workload constantly and give room to relax a bit more when it's a bit calmer. If you have any good advice on how we can improve: our door is always open and we appreciate new ideas. You know where to find us! Thank you for your contribution to the company - we wish you all the best on your future career journey! All the best, Gina

      A Company That's Trying But Has Lots to Work On

      Marketing campaign manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company does seem to make some substantial efforts to make employees of all sorts feel welcome, including celebrating Pride and Black History month, and offering Juneteenth as a paid holiday.

      Cons

      Employees are not paid appropriately based on their level of job expertise and especially not in comparison to the cost of living in Atlanta. Additionally, when offering feedback about this, employees are basically told that all salaries are fair based on market research and they're stopped from being able to complain any further. Similarly, much of the company's focus seems to be on momentum and acquisition rather than their employees or their product itself. There is just a huge divide between what's being offered by GSG in the US and what's being offered in other markets. Looking at competitors like Honey and how they use influencer marketing, it makes no sense that we wouldn't try to offer similar marketing options. This is especially poignant when looking at public knowledge of CNN Coupons and BUS Coupons in comparison to the popularity of big names like Retailmenot and Rakuten. There's no competition, and we're fighting a losing battle by focusing on only organic marketing. Finally, the organization within the company is so opaque to literally everyone outside of the central team, it's sometimes impossible to know who to come to for questions or advice on a project. This also goes for many of the regular processes within the central team. Things like salary reviews, goal-setting, and even the decision to purchase another company come as complete surprises to everyone on the outside.
