Pros

Good coworkers. Some smart, nice people who work here. Interesting product and industry. Central location that is easy to find.

Cons

Terrible management. Senior leaders change out every two years or less... consistent for the past 10 years. CEO doesn't seem to want to be there. They like to say that you must be ok with "change," but really you must be ok with the constant state of massive disarray in all areas. New leaders come in and want to put their stamp on things, which ends up repeating what was done four years ago. Rinse and repeat. Many people, including senior leaders, are actually "consultants" who don't really care, or who just work remotely. Sales strategy is to recycle last year's plan. They lose more customers than they acquire, and have done so for the past few years. Office environment is very gloomy. Nobody is happy here. Ask any recruiter in San Diego County that has worked with Buzztime, they will not paint a pretty picture. Extremely high turnover. It is actually surprising this company still functions.

So Much Potential, So Little Wisdom

Pros

Such a smart army of employees: hard working, passionate, creative, thoughtful. Such potential with a product that has no direct competition: built-in social, built-in loyalty, built upon entertainment, etc.

Cons

And yet...such an unfortunate executive mindset. C-level leadership continually works in a 3- or 4-person vacuum, ignoring what the marketplace is asking for, what employees are craving in terms of daily leadership, vision, fair treatment, and training; and what competitors are doing that truly appeals to the industry.

Pulling the wool over their own eyes.

Pros

Working with talented team members. There is a great culture among other employees. Fun, interesting, and varied projects.

Cons

Heavy politics, big egos, and bloated management, and bad product legacy.
