Not a Tech Org, Bad Leadership, Constant Churn, Yearly Layoffs

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are a few good quality people remaining but that is about it. Program managers do well running teams and the agile processes are quite good.

Cons

The company is always acquiring new companies. Positions change and strategies change. It's quite frustrating in engineering. The Seattle location due to employees leaving and constant layoffs has shrunk from over 200 employees to well under 100 in the past 2 years. * Teams work on one project and months later its throwaway code due to a new strategy * Layoffs people have gotten used to so everyone is prepared * Majorly silo'd small teams. No technology direction or communication * If you like challenging work then ProQuest would not be the best choice. * Non-Completive compensation
