Pros
There are a small group of people that I couldn’t recommend more as great people and coworkers. If you’re lucky enough to work with them, you’ll have fun, learn, and accomplish things.
Cons
- Upper management has personal conflict between themselves that clouds their view of decisions that should be objective business decisions - Many people prefer to pass along work, knowing that the key to career advancement at Invoca is to talk about what you will do instead of what you actually have done or are doing - Total lack of trust between departments. For a smallish company, that prides itself on “culture” and winning awards for the best place to work (an award that definitely isn’t given because they pay for the survey the company provides) every department thinks their counterparts are lazy, incompetent, and self centered. Is everyone right? Is no one right? It doesn’t matter because you stay in your silo with your own group thinkers. - Hope you like slack huddles and zoom calls! You’ll be in 500 slack groups that you can’t mute because once a quarter you’ll receive a ping in each random group that suddenly you need to respond to ASAP. - expect every new project to be poorly defined, pushed by their manager, and then be immediately put on the back burner as soon as a new shiny project is brought up.
