RealNetworks reviews about "technology"

Unreasonable project schedule, lacking domain expertise for new project.

Executive management is a mess. Lost their innovate edge years ago, just trying to stay alive. Not sure why the people in charge were in charge, except as cases of nepotism and tenure.

Growth is very slow resulting in ambitious top performers leaving the company.

Executive leadership attempting a culture change but too many people talking at the same time to make meaningful discoveries. Constant change of plans for areas of focus and no clear target verticals can create headaches.

Maybe not the greatest communication of tasks by management.

* The really great people who care about the product and user experience are not listened to by mgmt. If they did not come up with the idea, it does not exist * The impressive HQ building is mostly empty and empty spaces are the norm. * Insane work hours chasing ever changing "shiny objects" or pet ideas of management. Getting an email at 10PM for a "just added" 7AM meeting is not uncommon. * Many of the vacated positions are either not backfilled or are shipped to overseas countries where the senior management came from. * Burning through money with overseas boondoggles.

legacy focus on selling selling music through wireless carriers and online gaming means an internal culture conflict with changing network design. Company leadership had reached a realization that corporate direction wasn't right and began repeated downsizing and building a new data-center. Network people were top-notch but their management regularly playing defense in turf battles.

1. Senior management seemed inept 2. Lack of direction, no clear focus 3. Serious lack of good product ideas 4. The doers are there, but they're not given importance 5. Employee morale is on the lower side, quite some negativity in the air

The leader of this company has frittered away their initially brilliant technology, squandered $600 million from the Microsoft settlement and run off some extremely talented senior people through his megalomaniac style and unwillingness to listen to any rational ideas about how to market some decent ideas after the RealPlayer lost it's steam. An incredible waste of what was the best technology to change the internet in the 1990s and early 2000s.
