Pros

The best thing about Sonic Foundry is the people. For the most part everyone is very friendly and is wanting to get the same thing done. Great location for the office. Great benefits.

Cons

Communication between the company is lacking. Without giving too much away there was a plan for my role in the company before I was hired and after I got hired it was very clear that no one knew the plan. It made it quite frustrating to figure out what I was supposed to do.

Pros

The people - some more productive than others, some more experienced, but the culture and vibe in the office was great - unfortunately long gone. Good benefits, half-day Fridays, 30 days PTO, hybrid work environment.

Cons

CEO, CEO, CEO. Really admired Joe for a while, but his true colors are ugly. Terrible leader, thinks of himself as a great deal maker/team builder/seller and none of those are true. Drove the company into the ground! (what else do you call a CEO who joins a company with ~$4 stock, now delisted and pink slip trading at $0.01?) Terrible idea to have a company like this publicly traded. Starting a tech start-up within a public company again shows the lack of business acumen from Joe/the board. The board is as much to fault as the leadership in the company - they've let this whole process run its course - running up debt, multiple layoffs, drastically declining morale, and yet continue to reward c-suite handsomely.
