Pros

Once was once a small software product ClassMate, owned by another smallish business empire called ClassLink. ClassMate at that time was a great place to work, great team, there were cons but it all somehow worked out and everyone got along, built/supported a good product, and cared about our clients.

Cons

Harris Computer Inc. bought ClassMate product from ClassLink and it all went to crap. Typical 'giant company' problems now became our problems - disinterested top management, uninformed decision making, unrealistic goals based on incorrect understanding of what the product was and was capable of, and heavy handed management style of people who'd previously proved they didn't need such tactics. "Downsized" people were CLEARLY chosen by age and salary, not performance reasons or seniority or merit, etc. However, offers of 4 to 8 weeks severance pay on condition of signing non-legal-action promise meant everyone felt obligated to sign and get paid to find another job....

Thank you for the review. Understanding/Learning is one of our core values and we work diligently to provide real life development opportunities to our employees. Another value is empowerment at the point of contact which has been referred to as 'intellectual autonomy'. We do run lean and at time struggle with scale-ability. The HR team is working on compensation analysis to ensure there is not disparity. Thank you for the honest and thorough feedback. This helps us make educated decisions in creating an enduring future.

Good company with poor management

Pros

Great place to learn new skills, co workers are good to work with and are a good mix of all ages. Free lunch once a month, good benefits, and beer Fridays.

Cons

Management is not transparent with employees. No feedback is given if you or don't do your job properly. Your expected to work long hours and overtime quite often.
