Wireless Matrix reviews

The major downsides are: 1) A little too much micro-management 2) Too much change of direction causing chaos, lost time, and burnout symptoms 3) Some amount of fear and distrust although communication is still good 4) Direction of the company seems to change often -- this has resulted in several layoff waves The other reviews were fairly accurate in terms of describing what is happening at the company. The direction of the company seems to change frequently, resulting in uncertainty and frustration for both customers and employees. Sometimes they seem to be trying too much at once and taking a shotgun approach. There have been several waves of firing -- one of which occurred while the company was spending a lot of money several different groups of consultants. In the past several years they have bought 2 companies and almost none of the people that came from these acquisitions are still with the company. In short, it was a great place to work for a while but the frustrations listed above might get to you after awhile.

The total lack of management and direction is appalling with WRX. They have gone down market due to there poor quality and inability to maintain enterprise customers. Their strategy is to sell to the small business market which is already saturated with GPS companies. This company is on the "we need to be acquired and make the executive staff rich" track. Management has hired over 40 engineers, yet cannot field a product that compares favorably with competition having less than 15 developers. The company has excellent HW developers and capabilities, but now they are selling the HW business to position themselves for acquisition. Their SaaS product is plagued by high down time, many bugs, and total lack of proper and consistent reporting, and an inability to lead in a crowded market place. The work is frustrating, as priorities change at the drop of a hat. There is no technical leadership and poor executive leadership. Other than that, it is a fine place to work for until they are acquired.
