Pros

In the past, Redknee used to be a company with good products, technically competent employees, valuable customers and great work culture.

Cons

Redknee employees have been fired after ESW tookover and have been replaced by Crossover freelancers (Employees, Management and even CEO is a freelancer) who do not understand the domain, technology and products. The freelancers have no idea of telecom domain and are only interested in hourly billing. Nobody really cares for the technology, products or customers. They have no commitment and leave for another assignment when it gets unmanageable.

Thank you for your service to Optiva. We are sorry to hear about your experience. ESW no longer has an interest in the company. Many new changes have taken place, including new shareholders, board members, CEO, CTO, and management. We invite you to check out the changes and consider Optiva if you look for new opportunities in the future.
