Used to be alright, now it's a terrible place to work.

Pros

Smaller company, owner is on-site sometimes. People are friendly for the most part. Generally, it's an alright place to work, or it used to be at least...

Cons

People are turning against one another with all the recent firings and organizational changes. I've heard from multiple people that they were fired because management placed blame on them for inescapable problems. Management is quick to shift blame from them to their lower team members, and executives are absolutely clueless it seems. A year or two ago, this place was pretty alright and stable. Now though, even if I had a good sense of job security I wouldn't want to stay. Managers have turned mean, employees are job hunting while eating lunch, and it just seems like everyone is looking for the fastest way off a sinking ship. "Innovation" is quickly killing this company, along with the CEO/owner's impulsive actions. His approval ratings have gone from decent to almost near 0 in the last couple of years, in large part due to his "vision" of the company being so much grander than the reality he lives in. There was a marketing department, but due to poor management and the CEO getting fed up its no more. So there isn't actually anyone to properly market the products being created and/or sold here. Following this, there was a mass firing of sales reps... With the majority that remain being undertrained and woefully unsure of their future at the company... It's not a good outlook, and it has other departments scared. Many people are on the job market now and just waiting for the first opportunity to leave.

Pros

In their main arena as an Autodesk Reseller, they are #2 in the industry and respected as a reseller.

Cons

The work environment is pitiful from the top down. Management refuses to respect anyone who is not producing in the form of hitting quotas only achieved by 1 in 5 reps. Instead of creating an environment of success building, they rather throw all new sales reps to the wolves. Being a new sales rep is very rough. The training is all video based and completely irrelevant when it comes time to actually call. They even achieve certification via saved old tests that are passed around to allow the new reps to simply hit the phones faster. At the end of the day, the little to no investment in new or current employees has created a culture of turnover, low morale, and a system designed to only reward those who strike gold/once in a career type deals, or are related to others within the company.

Pros

Struggling to find positives about organization to share. Would not recommend as employer or vendor to government clients. Well positioned as Autodesk reseller but falls short on meeting client expectations.

Cons

Poor understanding of market requirements, lack of service delivery model, poor execution and understanding of basic project management. Very poor communication throughout organization. For small firm very slow to adapt to new processes and technologies. Doesn't reimburse employee expenses.
