Pros

- There are a few amazing people in the organization.

Cons

- CEO's involvement in the every day aspect of the business is slowing the growth of the organization with poor and/or cheap decisions. - Poor leadership at most levels resulting in the company going backwards. - Divisions within organization that are poorly managed and are a drain on the overall business. - Inappropriate behavior by senior management that results in questioning the integrity of the organization. - Poor financial decisions that have had significant impacts on the company and its employees. - Micromanagement environment (ex. daily time reporting for all employees). Managers questioning their employees regarding EVERY minute they spend during a workday/work week. - Management does not listen to their employees when discussing challenges, nor create an action plan to address. - VERY low employee compensation when compared to the job market. - Poor employee retention. - Slow to adapt to new technology internally and for their customers. - No career growth for employees, nor does the company seem to care, which makes it even worse. - In most cases, will not provide the necessary tools to be successful because they cost money. - Will not empower their people to make changes or evolve the organization. - Not flexible with work schedules (ex. managers that are checking to the minute when employees come into an office). - ZERO diversity in the company. It is shameful if you review all of the employees ethnicities. - Very few amenities offered to their employees when compared to other organizations.

Weidenhammer regrets this Team Member has such a negative experience, so contrary to what we usually hear. We pride ourselves on ethical behaviors and addressing any issues immediately. We have an extremely high retention rate, and although our turnover has climbed to 18.1%, it is still less than half of the tech industry turnover of 37.3%. Our average tenure is 12.3 years of service with many Team Members employed over 40 years in our 45-year-old organization. We are very competitive in pay and give annual merit increases and market adjustments where warranted. Our hybrid or remote work schedule was highly rated by our Team Members, contributing to our 89% engagement score. I would certainly be willing to take this conversation offline to learn more about the concerns, so we can resolve any management behaviors that are not positive, and negatively impact the culture of which we are so proud.

Pros

Management let's you get the job done without micromanaging. Most of the company is remote but there's an office available in PA if you want that as an option. Everyone is nice here, there are no jerks.

Cons

Growing and working on building out processes for managing projects, it can sometimes be unstructured.

Pros

In an unstable market with mass layoffs and gross mismanagement by execs, John Weidenhammer continues to lead the company he founded in 1978 with integrity, wisdom, and what some might say "old school" values and work ethic. Hammer's business-to-human approach is validated every day by unsolicited client thanks and testimonials, and proven by the unusually long tenure of both our clients and employees.

Cons

'Old school' can result in legacy paradigms, tools, and operations that are being addressed and improved on. Stability from being fiscally conservative means you will be fairly but never over paid as is the case with many tech companies throwing money at problems and then laying off its people when they persist. While a positive, the long tenure of employees can also lead to bias and 'always done that way' mindsets with limited external context of advances being made outside of the company. This requires change, and people are inherently change averse.
