Cactus Communications Reviews

Likes

A mediocre company operating with a flawed business model.

Dislikes

Upskilling opportunities are nonexistent, while politics among senior employees dominate. There are no perks or chances for promotion—just a culture of favoritism and monopoly by long-standing employees. It’s not a place to learn or grow, making it a complete waste of time.

I have not found any pros while working with this company except Saturday/Sunday off, and even on those days, many of them are working because they call themselves a client-first organisation.

Discussing the downsides of working with this company, there are several points to consider: 1. **Profile/Designation**: This point is particularly relevant for sales professionals considering a role at this organization. The title "Account Manager - DMS (Digital Media Services) Team" within the Editage portfolio might suggest a sales-oriented role. However, it primarily involves backend operations and coordination, both internally and externally. It's suited for individuals looking to progress in operational roles rather than direct sales, where senior team members typically handle sales activities and enjoy the benefits of good pay and commissions. 2. **Entry-Level Salary**: For those just beginning their careers, the Cactus Editage DMS team might seem like an option. However, it's advisable to thoroughly research and understand the salary structure, as it tends to be on the lower side for freshers. 3. **Absence of Sales Commissions**: A significant drawback for sales personnel is the lack of commissions or incentives for sales, which are usually a key motivator for achieving and exceeding sales targets. 4. **Demanding Working Hours**: Despite assurances of typical day shifts with flexibility, the reality often involves 12 to 14-hour workdays. This is attributed to catering to clients across the US, UK, and Europe, necessitating extended hours outside the standard workday. 5. **Restricted Client Communication**: Employees find themselves with limited autonomy over client interactions, requiring managerial or project management team approval for all communications. This can hinder direct and efficient client service and relationship building. 6. **Internal Politics**: The project management team's involvement in internal politics can create an uncomfortable work environment. An example cited is the mandatory use of cameras during client calls, failure of which leads to unnecessary managerial escalations and political maneuvering. 7. **Lengthy Notice Period**: The mandatory 90-day notice period is a significant commitment that can deter future employment opportunities. Most companies are reluctant to wait three months, making it challenging for employees to transition to new roles....Read More
