Great people, abysmal management

Pros

- They allow for a bit of a flexible schedule once it's been established that you'll get your work done. - Fairly casual office environment. - The vast majority of people who work there are friendly and pleasant to work with.

Cons

- Management is completely out of touch. - There is very little accountability when mistakes are made, and blame is often shifted to lower level employees. - There is a lack of respect from management towards the employees' time and expertise. - Pay and benefits are not competitive. - The company is structured in such a way that puts different departmental goals in frequent conflict. - The company is slowly offshoring almost everything to India, including development and testing. - There is no thinking about the future or quality. Corners are cut and things get rushed and then management acts surprised when a sub-par product is delivered to an upset client. - There was a period of months after a merger where people didn't know who their boss was or what the new internal structure was. - Employees are constantly asked to work extra hours or weekends for no compensation or recognition. - This is a software company that does not understand how to make quality software, only how to sell promises.

Pros

- Good amount of PTO but since the company thinks they own you, there's a good chance you'll have to work on your PTO - Health insurance cost is decent

Cons

- Execs have Glassdoor rating improvement as part of their annual review metrics and therefore are really leaning on their managers and employees to post positive reviews here to fluff up the rating. Thus, most the positive reviews here are completely false. - Only concerned about company valuation/bottom line so the private equity firm that owns the company can get their money out as soon as possible - Incredibly strong bias against employees in the U.S. - Constant layoffs, despite what management says. If you're in the U.S. you're at risk of being replaced with a much less expensive foreign employee, who you'll have to train before the company axes you. - Company is constantly chasing off long-term employees who have deep understanding of the company's products and the marketspace - The company's attitude is that you're lucky to have a job here at all - Worst employer I've ever had and I've worked a lot of different places

Pros

The ONLY pro is the Paid Time Off.

Cons

They keep laying personnel off and/or reallocating positions to India. Management does not have a clue what their employees do.
