Pros

Coworkers are great people. Really easy to work with and as a new employee you can count on your team to help you get setup. The company has a good variety of snack, most of which are healthy and if you don't wan to leave for lunch there is always enough food there to make your lunch.

Cons

The executive team is a bit stale. It seems like the company is constantly spinning the same ideas over and over again. It feels like we simply rebuild the same thing with a new look. It would be nice to see new or added leadership that can bring a fresh idea to a company that is almost 20 years old. Also, it is time to drop the term "new" or "startup" from the regular use in the office. Neither are true and it kind of holds the company focus back.

Thanks for your candid feedback. I don't think the challenges you describe are as much about "spinning the same ideas over and over" as they are a reflection of how Alianza's leadership needs to do a better job of communicating our current ideas (strategy) to the rest of the company. Our strategy could not be further from "rebuilding the same thing with a new look". We are launching three completely new product lines this year - things that our customers and the market have been asking for and we are delivering. We do a monthly All-Hands Company Update meeting, where I talk with the company about multiple aspects of our strategy. But as our team grows, this is not enough, and we are expecting our team leads and middle management to do a better job of reinforcing our strategy (purpose, vision, mission, goals and objectives). Not all managers want to do this type of work and unfortunately, some teams were not fully communicated with - which I feel responsible for. We recently made some leadership changes within our technology organization that are already yielding good feedback.
