Pros

There were some good people there that I genuinely enjoyed working with. Compensation was decent.

Cons

As a company Abrigo has a culture of getting stuff done. At face value this is a positive thing. In practice it manifests itself as rapidly developing products without much of a plan for how the products will work, or even what value the customer might get out of the product. No real research is done into new products, they are developed with rapidity in hopes that they will stick. No effort or time will ever be allocated to cleaning up any mistakes that were certainly made while scrambling to do a thing as fast as possible, they go in the pile with the others. These practices lead to an inescapable mountain of tech debt that the products can never hope to escape, enormous resources poured into retroactively teaching people to use products that should have been better planned in the first place, and a management team that is unwilling to change any of these things because making good products is less of a priority than enticing prospective buyers to purchase the company. While I'm sure this is a fine way to make a lot of money, it does not make for a good place to work as an employee. If you are someone who enjoys wrestling with a ghastly array of unmaintainable products while management conducts unexpected layoffs and takes credit for any effort or good work that you do, and generally seeks out ways to make your life more difficult, then this might be a job that you enjoy. If you are someone who takes pride in your work, you can expect working at Abrigo to be an extremely frustrating experience wrought with time-wasting arguments and unsatisfying results.

Pros

First, the positive. The people at Banker's Toolbox are among some of the kindest, most genuine people you'll ever meet. Most folks care about the work they're doing and perhaps more importantly, care about one another. Other major bonuses are—of course—the free lunch, games, beer, team outings, and the happy hours that feel more fun than forced. And yes, the benefits are good, too. BTKB is doing a lot of things well, and I look back fondly on the time I spent there.

Cons

No place is perfect, though, and there is plenty of work to be done still. In my experience, the "casual" work environment teetered on extremely unprofessional. More than a few off-color jokes were made on a daily basis, and they VERY often came from folks at the top. I couldn't work in this environment; perhaps others can. This wasn't the main reason I left, but it's something that has stayed with me. Leadership seems to place a heavy emphasis on HR and culture (and certainly seems to read these reviews), so I hope these issues are being addressed. Lastly, certain teams seem to have stronger leadership/processes than others, and there are silos. Consistency and communication is needed all around to get everyone moving in the same direction.

Thank you for the feedback. While I wish the rating was higher, I'm always appreciative of specific and actionable feedback to help us get better. You note many positives and they are consistent themes for Banker's Toolbox. I want you to know that I hear the feedback around certain leaders and their behavior. We will deal with that and ensure that our environment is professional, fun and welcoming for all Penguins. Finally, I completely agree with the need to better communicate to the entire company, ensure alignment, and get every Penguin rowing in the same direction. I believe we've been better in the 2H18 and when we announce our new company name/brand in early 2019, it will help us all be OneCo. Best wishes in the next phase of your career and thank you for the feedback. Regards, Wayne Roberts President and Chief Executive Officer Banker's Toolbox/Sageworks/MST
