CIENCE Technologies Reviews: What Clients and Employees Say (2026)

CIENCE Technologies, a B2B outbound lead-generation and SDR-as-a-service agency, shows a mixed record: 4.2/5 on Clutch across 142 reviews and 3.7/5 on G2 across 180, against a 1.7/5 on Trustpilot and 2.0/5 on Google (verified September 2026).
CIENCE was founded in 2015 (its current cience.com copy says “since 2016”) and historically operated out of Denver, Colorado. Per cience.com’s own About page, graph8 has acquired CIENCE’s assets, and the company now sits inside graph8 with HQ relocated to Miami, Florida. Every third-party review profile checked, including Clutch, Google, Trustpilot, and GoodFirms, still lists the old Denver address, which is expected staleness given the recent move rather than a sign the profiles belong to a different company.

CIENCE Technologies Client Reviews
Clutch and G2 show a workable, if uneven, client picture, while Trustpilot and Google skew sharply negative, with several disputes cross-posted across multiple platforms by the same reviewers (verified September 2026).
Clutch: 4.2/5 (142 reviews)
Clutch’s unclaimed profile lists a $10,000-$49,999 typical project size, with reviews describing sales-outsourcing and demand-generation engagements.
What clients praise:
- Well-organized project management and clear communication, the most-cited theme on the profile
- Proactive strategy suggestions beyond the original brief
- Flexibility in adapting to client feedback
- Data-driven, technology-supported reporting
Where clients push back:
- Mixed lead quality and conversion results, with Clutch’s own summary noting some clients achieve satisfactory results while others report disappointment
- Missed delivery timelines on at least one engagement
- Results described as dependent on how clearly the client defined its own target market
“CIENCE Technologies took the time to understand what makes us different.”
- Client, Demand Generation & Email Marketing, Financial Services Co (Clutch )
G2: 3.7/5 (180 reviews)
G2’s 180 reviews split sharply: 112 five-star and 31 four-star against 35 one-star, with the overview page attributed to CIENCE’s own CMO, confirming identity.
What clients praise:
- Strong onboarding and clear deliverables when the client supplies good targeting content
- Hands-on, responsive account teams
- Results described by some as a “black box” system that nonetheless delivers
Where clients push back:
- Campaign and account-manager turnover, with multiple reviews citing as many as four different project managers on one account
- The CIENCE GO platform described as clunky or hard to navigate by several reviewers
- Poor lead targeting reported by a meaningful minority
- Onboarding described as slow, taking close to a month, by at least one reviewer
“The onboarding process took close to a month to complete and I feel most of the information we provided wasn’t being used effectively to enhance our campaign. There was constant turnover with the people doing our calling as well as our project manager.”
- Andy M., Small-Business (G2 )
GoodFirms: 4.5/5 (24 reviews)
GoodFirms’s own summary describes mixed reviews, with some clients praising collaboration and results while others raise concerns about service quality. The visible sample at time of read was dominated by one very negative review describing a $10,000 payment for leads the reviewer says were not genuine, the same dispute that also appears on Trustpilot and DesignRush rather than three separate corroborating incidents. With only 24 reviews and one repeated dispute driving much of the visible negative sentiment, this score should be read with volume caution.
DesignRush: 2.9/5 (4 reviews)
DesignRush’s own client-submitted score is a non-statistical 2.9/5 across 4 reviews. The same profile separately displays “Reviews on Google: 2.3/5 (28),” a mirrored figure that does not match CIENCE’s Google Business Profile read directly (2.0/5, 24 reviews), so it is not reported here as an independent or reconciled score.
What clients praise:
- Professionalism and successful appointment-setting, cited in a 4/5 review from one client
Where clients push back:
- Account-manager turnover before onboarding was even complete, restarting the process and delaying the engagement’s start
“CIENCE helped us expand our employee engagement platform by outsourcing and scheduling appointments with potential clients in our targeted audience. Their professionalism and expertise were outstanding, resulting in valuable leads and increased visibility.”
- Joel Mantecon, SEO, Hirebook (DesignRush )
Trustpilot: 1.7/5 (20 reviews)
Trustpilot rates CIENCE “Bad” at 1.7/5, with 95% of the 20 reviews at one star. Trustpilot’s own widget states no reviews were requested in the last 12 months, though several dated 2024-2025 reviews appear in the visible list, a platform-display inconsistency this page does not attempt to resolve.
What clients praise:
- No positive theme is identifiable in this sample; the profile is overwhelmingly negative and too small and skewed to draw one out
Where clients push back:
- Allegations of fabricated or non-existent leads
- Concerns about offshore call-center staff with limited English proficiency
- Frequent account-manager and staff turnover mid-engagement
- Refusal to refund for underperformance
- Long onboarding delays
“We (Euformatics) hired CIENCE to deliver qualified leads in the area of clinical labs and hospitals in the US… Once the actual outreach started we saw very little results, only few meetings over the course of 4 months and costs of more than $20k… During the sales process their representative talked about getting 10-12 qualified meetings per month. The reality was 0,5 per month.”
- Tommi Kaasalainen, FI (Trustpilot )
Google: 2.0/5 (24 reviews)
CIENCE’s Google Business Profile, listed at its historical Denver address, shows 2.0/5 across 24 reviews. The sample is too small for reliable theme extraction on its own, and several of the reviews surfaced through DesignRush’s “Reviews Sourced from Google” section are the same underlying reviews and authors rather than separate evidence.
UpCity, FeaturedCustomers, Comparably, and AmbitionBox: UpCity was blocked on repeated attempts and its status could not be verified. FeaturedCustomers shows 121 vendor-specific testimonials with no vendor-specific rating; its displayed “4.8/5.0 (3,450)” figure is a platform-wide reference pool, not CIENCE’s own score, so it is not reported.
One dispute accounts for much of the visible negative sentiment across three platforms: a $10,000-for-250-leads complaint from the same reviewer appears on Trustpilot, DesignRush, and GoodFirms. It is one incident cross-posted three times, not three independent corroborations, even though it reads that way at a glance.
Account-manager turnover is the complaint that holds up independently across platforms: it appears separately on G2 (up to four project managers on one account), DesignRush (an account manager who left before onboarding finished), and Trustpilot, each describing a different engagement.
A syndication mismatch means the Google figure reported here is the directly-read one, not DesignRush’s mirror: DesignRush displays “2.3/5 (28)” for Google reviews on its own page, which does not match the 2.0/5 across 24 reviews read directly from Google’s own listing, so only the directly-read figure appears on this page.
The harshest client complaints cluster from 2024 into 2026, the same window as CIENCE’s acquisition into graph8: earlier reviews from 2021-2023 skew more mixed-to-positive. The two periods coincide; this page does not draw a causal link between them.
CIENCE Technologies Employer Reviews
Glassdoor shows 3.3/5 across 456 reviews with 56% recommending the company, and Indeed shows 4.2/5 across a smaller written-review base, with the harshest employee complaints clustering after 2024 (verified September 2026).
Glassdoor: 3.3/5 (456 reviews)
Glassdoor reviewers describe Sales Development Representative roles based in Denver, with 56% recommending the company, 49% reporting a positive business outlook, and 30% approving of the CEO. The CEO name Glassdoor displays does not match other reported CIENCE leadership names, which reads as stale post-acquisition data, so this page does not assert a current CEO identity.
What employees praise:
- Remote and flexible work arrangements
- A “family-like atmosphere” and colleagues described as genuinely caring, per long-tenure reviewers
Where employees push back:
- Job-security and layoff concerns, including reports of being let go within a day or during vacation
- Lack of a proper CRM for SDR work, described as a dialer-only system
- Instability tied to the recent ownership change
“Sketchy leadership at the time and unstable company outlook. I was promoted to AE and then they laid off half the company.”
- Sales Development Representative, former employee, Reno, NV (Glassdoor )
Indeed: 4.2/5 (84 written reviews)
Indeed’s page shows two different counts on the same profile: 169 total star ratings against 84 written reviews. Sub-ratings run from 3.9 (pay and benefits) to 4.3 (work-life balance and culture).
What employees praise:
- A supportive, inclusive environment with flexible, remote-friendly hours
- Career learning and good benefits, cited by several long-tenure (2+ year) reviewers
Where employees push back:
- A cluster of more negative, 2023-2025 reviews describing layoffs and “chaotic” restructuring after the company expanded into new products
- Pay and commission disputes
- Management use of AI-generated scripts without adequate training
“The company initially had strong leadership and a great team culture. However, as it expanded into new products, operations became increasingly chaotic. Frequent restructurings, limited resources, and shifting priorities made it difficult to maintain quality in marketing and meet customer expectations.”
- Anonymous, Ukraine (Indeed )
Comparably and AmbitionBox: Comparably returned a bot challenge on repeated attempts and could not be verified. AmbitionBox returned a genuine “Page Not Found” for CIENCE, confirming no profile exists there.
Employee reviews show the same 2024-2026 clustering seen on the client side: most 5-star Indeed and Glassdoor reviews predate 2024, while layoff and restructuring complaints concentrate from 2024 onward, the same window as the graph8 acquisition. The timing lines up; this page does not claim one caused the other.
Employees and clients describe the same disruption from opposite seats: clients on G2 and DesignRush report account-manager turnover mid-engagement, while employees on Glassdoor and Indeed describe layoffs and restructuring internally over the same period. These are two audiences describing the same window, not independent confirmation of a single narrative.
Looking for a CIENCE Technologies Alternative?
