There are really too many to list in detail, so I'll just provide highlights:
- The business is not meeting targets and has not for a long time. The products are doing poorly, and resources are extremely tight.
- Numerous layoffs have hollowed out many areas over the last couple years, and the remaining staff are overwhelmed and lacking in morale
- The c-suite is almost entirely brand new, including the interim CEO. The company feels like it's in a holding pattern in terms of direction.
- Offshoring and outsourcing are the name of the game. There will soon likely be more employees outside of the US than there are on-shore, and almost all of symplr's clients are US-based. I suppose this is normal now for tech companies, and symlpr is no exception. If you're looking at an on-shore position, especially in Support, Engineering, and Product, you should exercise caution with symplr. The offshoring effort is relentless.
I doubt there's much going on at symplr that isn't going on in a thousand other small corporations in the US tech sector right now. It's just a bad time.
