Dissapointing!

Pros

There are very few, none stand out

Cons

There is no clear on-boarding or training process. New hires are left on their own to figure things out, and co-workers are less than willing to help with questions. Its like some sort of hazing. Most of the people I worked with felt a lack of confidence in their product knowledge, but they would never say that to a manager. operations are hap hazard, and there is no clear path to success. What are employees supposed to know / do and when? People are promoted based on their ability to talk the talk and come off like they know what they are doing. Then they are rewarded for being a one man show and put in charge of a team even though they have no leadership abilities. There is no training for new leaders and new direct reports pay the price. Senior Leaders are more concerned with how thoroughly you fill in your JIRA fields vs. actually leading and ensuing their teams are trained and productive. There is a lot of time spent on non-value work. In order to keep up with the chaos, people are working 7 days a week. If you are a "yes" person, and don't speak up when there is a problem, you may do well here.

Pros

Company has leading a edge product and is rapidly expanding. The business has solid funding and is firmly established in the market.

Cons

Almost too many to mention - Lots of bad middle managers - Corporate culture outside of Head office completely different.- - Sales culture is same old " old school SAP/ORACLE" old boys beef up your chest, kill at all costs approach. - Management very disconnected from corporate "values" - Supremely arrogant company; we are better than everyone else; we have no issues, if you don't like anything we do we can find people lined up to take your job. - Management very hypocritical; " encourages staff to manage expenses " like its your own money" staff does and then management does the exact opposite.
