Pros
Interact's strength is the large percentage of front-line employee's who have Public Safety experience. The employees that carry out the day to day operations at the customer level are by far the greatest group of people I have ever worked with.
Cons
The company was hijacked by private equity as a play on cloud-based and SaaS computing. 4 years worth of investing, positions on the board, C-level leadership from silicone valley who were too arrogant to listen to the fact that public safety is different than the latest start-up app. They wanted to flip the company for hundreds of millions. Instead, the "revenue is king" strategy brought the company to the edge of...

Also, employees have endured years of financial stress and many has stayed,...

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Caliber Public Safety for more than 8 years
Pros
My co-workers are awesome. Most of us have been here for a long time and I have made many lifelong friends.
Cons
The company was acquired by Harris and they have never taken on a company of this size so they're floundering. They promised there wouldn't be any more employee layoffs but, they have continually let people go since they took over. The management team is driven by their own egos and not by whats best for the company or customers. HR is nearly non-existent.
Advice to Management
Hire more HR to support the employees and work harder to support and serve the public safety industry they way they deserve.
