An Insider's view of Trustpilot

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

The work-life balance is amazing. It’s been 5 years since I’ve had the luxury of being off on a weekend. Besides that, my managers don’t really bother me outside of my regular working hours, and I'm always encouraged to take my full hour for lunch. You also can’t beat working remotely; my daily commute is about 20 seconds each day

Jawayne

Account Development Representative

What does your typical day look like?

The thing I love the most about my role as an Account Executive is that every day looks different. Some days I’m more focused on setting up new meetings with prospective clients, whereas others I’m spending my time nurturing opportunities I’ve already created and building rapport with new people.

Emily

Account Executive

What makes someone successful on your team?

There are clear paths to move into management or maintain personal growth as an individual contributor. It's nice to know there is an achievable plan in place and management has always been supportive of my goals.

Jeremy

Senior Customer Integration Engineer

What is your vision for the company?

My personal vision for Trustpilot is to make it the preeminent review platform in the United States both in terms of volume of content and review credibility. Within the org, I envision Trustpilot operating in a way that allows us to understand greater detail of our business and to build the best team in the business!

John

Commercial Operations Director

What projects are you most excited about?

As a Talent Acquisition Specialist, my day-to-day consists of conducting technical phone screens, preparing candidates for interviews, and extending offers! Besides my daily responsibilities, I worked on a social media project recently. I was able to utilize my marketing degree to teach my colleagues how to rock their LinkedIn profiles and content.
