Mismanagement

Pros

The handful of experienced staff that remains from the period prior to the acquisition of the company by venture capitalists. (Everyone else has been "re-structured" right out of the company -- or left as fast as they could.)

Cons

The decisions made by the current executives demonstrate a serious disregard for the company's future. They are focused on flashy, short-term goals that result in quarterly bonuses for them but which seriously damage the long-term future of the company. In more than one instance, executive staff hired by the new owners has demonstrated either deep incompetence or outright corruption.

Pros

There used to be tons of pros: a library tech company run by librarians, flexible schedules, talented, driven people, hard workers, nice atmosphere, strong customer focus, etc. Those USED to be the pros. Sadly, none of that really exists any more, so I can't honestly think of a single pro for working at this horrid place.

Cons

Pretty much everything about working there. VERY low salaries; secret 'bonuses' to a rare few that are laughable, bordering offensive; dismal work environment; employees are written up for not showing deference to senior management (yes, this really happens), 'cash is king' attitude means there is absolutely no value from the management to the long-standing loyal employees -- they're just dead weight that make too much money, so fire them and farm it out to India. Seriously, don't work here.

Was ok for many years. Not anymore.

Pros

Generous vacation time if your job allows you to take it.

Cons

With the recent change in ownership, the company is going through organizational chaos, and there doesn't appear to be an end in sight. Employees are valued much lower than the business's bottom line. This is a complete reversal to what the previous management valued. The people who worked here made the company great. With layoffs and the best people leaving after opening offices in seemingly less expensive places, we're left with a larger company that is propped up with alarmingly little industry knowledge, broken processes, and extreme inefficiencies. With a larger company full of what the new management likes to think are skilled professionals, we are somehow outputting much less than we used to,

Innovative has gone through a big, very big transition over the last year. We are becoming a global company with employees located all over the world. We appreciate that it is a particularly hard transition for the team members in Emeryville, and are hopeful that the enhanced job opportunities, benefits, and transparency in communication from the senior team helps employees feel more appreciated and valued.
