- Company has been bought out twice in last 6 years so the company is at the wim of the shareholders - There is no change of processes or open forum its all met with resistance -Alumni I have talked to are all looking for the door, upper management changes so things can completely flip in a day.

Pros

Some of your coworkers are genuinely incredible talented people

Cons

- Executive Leadership seems in denial of the fact that the company clearly lacks a coherent long term strategy for success instead pushing down issues or only offering half solutions - Operational issues compound and are ignored as the company jumps from initiative to initiative - Lack of follow-through from multiple departments and leadership - HR seems more interested in the appearance of process than true equity. - Executive leadership is routinely dismissive of employee concerns - Focus on firefighting and acts of heroism rather than process driven scalable change - Clear favoritism within the company - Leadership Directives are misaligned from front-line concerns and the reality of the day to day business - Lack of focus on customers and what employees need to be successful

Broken Fundamentals

Pros

I would have said benefits before the Charter acquisition.

Cons

Billing is so bad its borderline criminal. There is nothing driving billing accuracy so they over bill, bill for things customers don't even have, and bill for things deprovisioned months or years ago. And it's on the customer to notice and dispute it. No QA. Which takes months and in some cases a year to get resolved and multiple escalations. Usage billing is separate, vague, and chronic. Customers have to inquire every month why they were billed for usage. And often times its not valid and we owe the customers credits. Billing is half your day in sales. And customers leave over it. There are no SLA's for anything so no one is accountable except sales. Multiple requests and emails just go unanswered by folks sales rely on to do their job. And its considered acceptable to just not respond. Even managers don't respond. No urgency on anyone unless you are quota bearing. No ROEs so every day becomes a cage match as to who owns what account and when accounts move. Every time its upto the manager. Which incentivizes dishonesty, rewards favoritism, and creates toxicity within teams. No other sales organization does not have ROEs for this exact reason. Implementations take way too long, sometimes years. And customers cancel because of it. Single threaded in many areas where theres one Engineer so responses are delayed or nonexistent when that person is out. And what happens when that one person leaves?? Ive seen products just not work. Backups for example just weren't working and customers left. I've seen a customers DR not get done because the Engineer "got distracted and forgot to come back to it". I've seen firewalls not be set up properly and its upto the customer to drive all of it. Theres alot of favoritism at the VP level and if you are a yes person you will go far. Alot of turnover at the C level.
