Pros

Active is a fast growth company that addresses large markets, is dominant in the markets it plays in and has a laid back culture that encourages employee wellness.

Cons

The organization is trying to do too much and playing catch-up or clean up after an extremely high growth period.

Pros

It is a very casual work environment. There are a lot of healthy activities outside the organization. Semi-competitive benefits and salaries.

Cons

There is a complete lack of leadership from the CEO down. The management doesn't seem to understand how to run a company. They are more interested in gathering more direct reports than utilizing the people they have. Entire departments are picked up and shuffled to other groups without any thought put into it. Employee turnover is tremendous. In some departments it was 100% in just a year. Money is wasted on projects that never get started. Resources just sit in the corner never to be used. This is not a company that will empower you to get stuff done. Management reviews are consistently late and not relevant. They are more interested in attacking you on the negatives than celebrating the positives. No training for manager or supervisors so that they can be placed in a position of success. Several manager where promoted, then abandoned, then terminated because they didn't meet their objectives. This was a no-win situation for many. No clear leadership or planning. This was apparent by offering a 401k match to have it removed less than 6 months later. It shows poor planning and lack of vision.

Pros

Good benefits Casual work environment Short work hours depending on department

Cons

Management does not have a clue. There is a VP with one prior job experience who believes they know better than all. Most upper management is nowhere to be found. The division of workload between departments and teams is illogical. Some teams need to work day and night to get their basic job function done while other teams come in late, leave early and take 2 hour lunches to participate in the company's Active Wellness Programs. There is no clear direction to the company. Management changes structure and jobs on the fly and then asks "why isn't this working?" My favorite part about working at this "technology" company? NOTHING WORKS!
