Pros
When I first started at LCI over 10 years ago, it was a great company to work for.
Cons
No emotional quotient - Out of touch with what their employees really feel. The best people leave constantly, leaving a declining work force of people who stay mostly out of their own lack of confidence in their own abilities to pursue something else. Incredible favoritism - You are either golden or you will never do anything good enough. And once you fall, you will never rise up, regardless of what you do. But the favorites can do no wrong. Most management learned how to manage in this environment, a reward due to their tenure and dedication in being a hard worker, neither quality manufactures a good manager. The company is organized chaos on a good day, and those whose decisions created the situation remained entrenched in leadership positions, with little or no accountability for the situation. Unable or unwilling to invest in new development which would have solved most of their issues. Not even a gradual move in a proper direction was allowed. Upper management thinks they are the "smartest ones in the room" and as a result, only listened to their own ideas.....echo chamber of sorts...especially in regards to handling employees. Sadly....the culture suffered drastically. Lower level managers could not make changes without approval of upper managers, which rarely happened - made it impossible to actually manage, despite any previous managerial experience. the lower level managers had. Not even willing to allow changes...unless upper managers thought they came up with the idea. Upper management claims to be open to criticism, but isn't at all - criticize and you are branded as a bad person. Meetings over how to improve the culture always ended up in a meeting discussing how to get deliverables accomplished faster, not taking into account the inadequate and dysfunctional lack of teamwork between stakeholders and departments. Speaking up for employees and their poor treatment was not looked upon favorably Teams in dev were completely lopsided - one organized system, which comprised perhaps 20% of all systems, was given more staff than the remaining 80% of all legacy systems, most all of which were often in disarray No teamwork between dev teams to cross train personnel in dev department. One side was totally willing, one side was not. Uses Agile Scrum/Sprint completely incorrect and doesn't understand how it really works whatsoever - when a coach was brought in and pointed out the issues, their contract was cut short - PMO manager would not listen to any other opinion or try anything different (seems to be a recurring theme) If an employee was branded as "no good" by the favored leadership, it didn't matter what the person accomplished - they would forever be considered "no good" Most all managers take credit for their team's accomplishments, but blame its' failures on individuals All technology is not close to current and little or no plans on moving the tech stack forward The negative reviews on glass door here are real....don't disregard them....
