Pros

I don't know. I loved the place and then hated the place when Vista took over.

Cons

- Very low resource issues. Management would not hire any skilled workers and fill the gaps. - Remaining employees expected to pick up the slack when people left. - Many employees overworked and doing multiple projects in parallel. - Ridiculous deadlines and regular expected overtime ruined social life. - Lack of job security. Constantly worried about being fired or laid off. - Too many managers and not enough people to do the actual work. - Upper management obsessed with metrics. Many thought these would fuel a future second lay-off. - Lack of trust with upper management because of all the firings and metrics. - Bad management? Managers were either blind to the low resource issue or deliberately ignoring it. - Business plan seemed to be short-term. They were saving money and applauding those that quit. - Managers that did not click with the appointed CEO were fired regardless of being skilled. - Constant flow of people quitting. - Pointless employee surveys.

Hello, Thank you for your review and we appreciate your transparency. It’s with your honest feedback, that we are able to make the changes needed to move forward as a productive and profitable organization. While I’m disappointed to hear you believe there were no pro’s to working at AGDATA, we understand that not everyone’s experience is positive and that change can be a difficult thing As we move forward, we are addressing many of the topics you have outlined, unwanted employee attrition, management training and development as well as resource planning. Also, we are working diligently to create a culture where we promote from within and guide individuals in career path and career goal discussions. It is imperative to keep all of our great talent, while helping them to grow and acquire new skills. Again, thank you again for your review! CEO
