Losing the high tech battle - Anonymous employee Unwired Planet Employee Review

Unique excellent perfect smart leader

None none none none none

Fascinating industry of mobile where growth is guaranteed. Global reach so you can really learn a lot about wireless carriers, their business needs, and see where real innovations in mobile messaging, applications, and infrastructure will have impact on services. Deeply embedded in many carriers around the world. Ability to travel to many other offices. Great to work with strong European counterparts to learn more about advances in mobile. Possibility that new management that comes on board could turn company around. Good salary and benefits especially for long timers but stock is in the crapper. Morale is wonky so watch for that.

Constant changes in management team makes it hard to feel real leadership. Also, culture of many acquisitions means not much culture to grab onto. Workforce is distributed, lots of folks work from home so accountability is not well managed. Leadership has been lacking for years and this has impacted morale of workforce. Stock has been very low from years after being really high so that also impact morale and reputation amongst other mobile oriented businesses. Competition is significant and growing. Not clear if the company can adapt to changes in the market. Loss of client software business means less interest in the company overall.
