Started out great, ended poorly

Pros

The job started out great and was having fun working for a publicly traded company. There were nice incentives provided and a nice holiday party, but don't be fooled. The co-workers were relatively nice to work with, but not all. (as any job). Some growth opportunity, but took way too long to acquire.

Cons

I was laid off at the company , due to a previous executive making poor decisions for the entire company for years I was told. There were definitely others who sat on facebook or watched youtube all day who should have been let go before I was. You think the company is doing you good for a long time, but in the end looking back it was not. I was sitting comfortable for a while, but got annoyed that my growth wasn't moving forward, and if it was it was at a snail pace. I was excluded from meetings where I could have learned topics and knowledge to help my team, but was not given that opportunity. The mentality of the company was if you are not a white male executive you basically didn't matter that much. I busted myself everyday to provide superior customer service, but still never truly felt like it mattered as I wasn't able to advance. Do your assigned work and leave at the end of the day. There was demeaning characteristics towards women's looks and pornographic material being viewed at times and no one was held accountable. Unfortunately, I've heard a lot of people have been leaving or getting laid off from this company. I would look elsewhere to showcase and grow your skills in your career path. The grass is definitely greener on the other side.

Pros

The best thing about Sonic Foundry is the people. For the most part everyone is very friendly and is wanting to get the same thing done. Great location for the office. Great benefits.

Cons

Communication between the company is lacking. Without giving too much away there was a plan for my role in the company before I was hired and after I got hired it was very clear that no one knew the plan. It made it quite frustrating to figure out what I was supposed to do.
