The Same Mistakes over and over

Employee

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

There are some really good staff (currently and those laid off) who have given years of there lives to build a great product. Unfortunately executive management allowed the existing product to stagnate for 7 years while they tried to build their pipe dream "Workflow".

Cons

Multiple executive staff who knew nothing about the business simply added to bad decisions regarding SDLC. Used tools that no one knew how to use. Refused to bring in expert advice, and to cheap or simply couldn't recruit the talent to support the tech stack. Constantly disregarded those staff members who could help and still choose to hire their friends over those who truly understand the business and have a proven track record.

A company with challenges

Pros

Most of the staff were very pleasant to work with and there was a passion within them to do whatever it took to grow a successful company during some challenging times.

Cons

The lack of funding in the US Corrections space (County Jails / State Prisons) and an inability to afford investing in recent Offender Management software solutions (OMS) has put significant pressure on all OMS Vendors to generate the revenue necessary to sustain operations. At Syscon specifically, this has lead to continuous lay-offs. Furthermore, Management's inability to plan & execute the roll-out of their next generation solution hurt their reputation and market share in the OMS industry. I understand they still haven't released the product - 3 years after the original release date. I would have to caution others considering a career at Syscon - you shouldn't expect to be there for more than a year after being hired.

Interesting feedback – and nearly a year on we are clearly still here and in good shape and projecting 20% growth in 2016 over 2015. Yes, the global recession of 2008 impacted all vendors in this space, and yes, we like all our competitors, had to go through a down-sizing exercise to ensure the future of the company – this was necessary and has enabled the company to navigate the difficult period and be in prime position to take advantage of the market, with our new offender management software products, now the market is coming alive again with new sales opportunities. We won the largest opportunity of its kind in the USA in 2015 with our new offender management product and feel well positioned to build on this win in the near future. In terms of longevity of employment, we have employees with tenures of over 20 years and many of over 10 years. Like every company, we have a performance management program and sometimes people don’t make the grade and we have to part company with them.
