Pros

Culture Location People Has the cool startup vibe Management are super cool and down to earth I've had many conversations with c level executives and the CEO which I find to be really cool since it is a fairly decent size company. No one is too big for their own boots

Cons

Still has some flaws in the service delivery of it's software leading to some less than happy customers

Pros

I have been working with SiteMinder for 5+ years. I had a mixed journey in SiteMinder. I had a massive gain in knowledge and experience, but also didn't get roles to feed my passion and no one seem to care about it too(may be time to leave ;). --Young, dynamic fast paced environment. --Very friendly and approachable senior management. --Tons of very nice people. --Great Products. Market leaders. --Ambitious and aspiring company, has abundance potential to grow further. --Senior Management is aware of the areas of improvement, and they are continuously working to improve things. Some to mention, parental leave, work flexibility(work from home), wedding bonus, breakfast etc (these benefits were initially not available). --Friday Beers, daily breakfast fruits etc --Ping Pong, snooker, x-box, and other board games.

Cons

--High employee turn around. --Some middle-level managers act as a huge bureaucracy wall and are very shallow. --Very limited 'internal' career progression, many suitable roles offered to external candidates(especially in service delivery). --Very limited employee skill development. --Socialising on Friday drinks seems to be the primary tool for internal career progression!. Nepotism :( --Annual salary review is a joke(usually around 0.7% to max 2%) --Different business units are isolated. Example, very limited communication between product team and service delivery(though it has improved slightly in the recent time). --HR(people and culture) team's primary task is recruitment. Would be nice they also focus on HR related issues. Usually takes months to get answers, even on simple matters. Advice to Job Seeker: It's not Google, but it's definitely better than 90% of other companies. It's not perfect, but it's getting there. I strongly believe it will reach there soon.

You make some great points, thanks for sharing. I know there are plans afoot for a focus on communication and career development this year so I am hopeful this will help address some of your feedback. Thanks, Charlie

Pros

Great pay is the only pro for this company!

Cons

This place runs like a high school from the movie "Mean Girls." Be careful getting into clicks and watch what you say. The management and staff are unable to be trusted from the bottom up.

I've been called many things across the course of my career but I've never been called a mean girl before! On a more serious note, it sounds like you are having a really bad time of it, if you would like to have a chat and get some support I'd be happy to try and help, I'm at charlie.milne@siteminder.com
