Pros

This was a fantastic company before it was sold to a private equity company. Benefits were above average. Some work from home.

Cons

The private equity owner controlled CEO is trashing everything long-term to maximize resale in the short-term. This company will likely not last longer than three years. There are more VPs and C level executives than development staff (in a mostly software development company)

Pros

- Overall, the product mission is in the right place. - There are people who really care about their work, and want to do the right thing even if they can’t do so. - Chicago headquarters is nice

Cons

- High turnover at all levels including executive team. CFO, CMO, CHRO and CSO have left in the past 6 months alone. 3 of the 4 of those roles remain open. - Management is highly disorganized. Spending is based on emotions. If you’re in sales, your budget is effectively a blank check. But wait…are the sellers actually selling and meeting targets? No. - Budgets continue to be squeezed. No investment. Some teams are heavily overworked meanwhile some don’t have enough to do. Ironically, the budget and resources are being stripped from those overworked teams. - Mass layoffs at least once a year. Jobs continue to be offshored (more layoffs) with unqualified talent to save a couple bucks. - Despite all those cost cutting efforts, the bonus this year paid 10%. Yes, ten percent. - Compensation continues to trail the market. - Entirely too much micro managing from the top that don’t translate into valuable results.
