Leadership values production and technology, but not the people making it all happen

Management

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Really nice people and the technology being developed is really cool

Cons

- Leadership thinks it has a great culture, but the people in the trenches, especially in the St. Louis office (marketing, sales, HR, IT, Accounting) feel there is a major disconnect. - Promotions are handed out as favors to those who "get close" to the execs, and everyone knows this to be definitely true except the leaders. You can't go to HR because it happens there too. - The rumors are never-ending, and no-one is safe from this. - New people sometimes quit within the first six months when they have to work 60 hours to keep up with the work that is handed to them especially in accounting.
