Culture is gone, the COO rules all - Manager FORTÉ Employee Review

Pros

Great people, and employee ownership sounds great on paper

Cons

In the past few years, the company has shifted 180 degrees. Now, the only opinion that matters is the COO. Decisions aren't made based on what is good for the company, the long term growth of the company, or the employees. The immediate perceived financial performance is the only thing that matters. No investment in employees or resources to advance AVI. No longer any path to career advancement. Rumor has it the founder and CEO are looking to leave, and they are no longer engaged. Such a shame - AVI was a fabulous company to work for just a few years ago.

FORTÉ Response

I can confirm the rumor that the founder and CEO looking to leave is false! Alive, well, and engaged - call me anytime -- Jeff Stoebner, CEO

Pros

A lot of the employees are great to work with. ESOP is a plus. Location is good. Parking is good.

Cons

Where do I even begin? Pay is low for the Bay Area and for the space this company is in.. A lot of the employees are great to work with but the clique of employees who worked with each other at another company is blindingly rampant and shows of favoritism for outsiders. Management is inconsistent about performance and punishment for employees who are NOT good at what they do and for dedicated employees who were given an impossible task. Performance reviews are not done in a timely fashion. Communication is not great between colleagues.
