-Disrespectful pay
-Technology looks and functions like it's from the year 1999
-Wants to be viewed as a tech leader yet is ran like a Kentucky Fried Chicken
-Multiple colleagues have reported healthcare administrators laughing out loud when viewing details of benefits offered by Connectwise
-Archaic work from home policy closer to Burger King's than any contemporary software company's (before COVID)
-Will fire tenured and valuable employees to save money
I would give Connectwise a 2-star rating, because there were some fun company events (restaurants, happy hour, outings) but it is well documented in this Glassdoor review section that Connectwise has a history of incentivizing the posting of fake positive reviews. Instead, I will be giving Connectwise a 1-star rating to help drive the average score closer to its true value.
Connectwise was probably a pretty good place to work if you want to coast and if you prefer to be verbally told how much you are appreciated rather than it being demonstrated to you in any meaningful way. Chief Talent Officer Jen Locklear is the master of paying lip service while not producing any results for her own colleagues. It's also interesting to note that she has not addressed accusations of executives sleeping around with colleagues mentioned in other reviews.
Management at Connectwise is very comfortable lying to commit wage theft by making repeated, material false statements during negotiations. Nearly everyone that has written a review for Connectwise here on Glassdoor has noted that the pay is trash already. However, I would like to add that not a single person on my team was even making the minimum for our positions for a while. This company does not even adhere to its own salary guidelines.
How did some of us eventually start making at least the minimum? They gave us a raise that wasn’t. Our flat bonuses were eliminated and our salaries were increased by the same amount. The bonus was the same amount every quarter and it essentially only required us to show up to work to qualify. And even then, this only happened because Connectwise was acquired by Thoma Bravo.
When Thoma Bravo acquired Connectwise, the outgoing CEO, Arnie Bellini made sure we were aware that he created 70 new millionaires while 10% (about 200 ex-colleagues) of the company was now jobless and were on their own to find a means to feed their families.
