Overall Oyster was a great place to be until beginning of 2023, when new CRO came in. Starting from sharing stories on how he only lost 1 deal in his career to telling everyone that if they don’t like things the way they are they can literally get the hell out, the leadership style is the typical of your corporate soulless grind machine . Also, OYSTER IS NOT A SOFTWARE COMPANY. YOUR PAYCHECK DEPENDS ON IMPLEMENTATION (EMPLOYED EMPLOYEES) and it’s impossible to get AM/CS team to get pretty much anything outside of basic things done for your largest customers, therefore you’re gonna be pressured to prospect, while being expected to take shit and solve problems for deals that you’ve sold previously, because existing business doesn’t want to help AE. Unless you’re willing to be dependent on other people doing their jobs to be paid on a daily basis, I wouldn’t recommend Oyster in its current state.

The product is far behind competitors. Career advancement is only noticeable from BDR -> AE otherwise it's almost nonexistent. Internal SLA to get answers to Zendesk tickets (80% of your job due to SOTs never being updated) is 48 hours and this will be a leading cause of why reps lose deals. Steer clear if you want to make money worth your value.

The hires/promotions are either objectively terrible to everyone but the decision-makers, or the good ones leave after realizing what they got themselves into. Proof: check for IC & Leadership hires in 2023 that left within 6 months of joining... If "lipstick on a pig" was an organization. You can do better....Read More
