Pros

Unlimited Vacation, Stock option, Hours

Cons

Very much like a fraternity, if you're not one of them then they out you. You ask for assistance from your team, they ignore you or don't want to teach you everything because they want to keep their position safe. Management (not executives...will get there) don't understand the basics of their department, no assistance, rather watch you drown and fail than to help and push you to succeed. No structure in place. Now to the executives, they need to have most of their hands help and spoon fed to do anything. Being in meetings with them and they need to have the executive assistant click on JOIN MEETING on the screen because they "don't know how to join a meeting" is just sad. This is a technology company and yet the heads of it can barely understand the basics. Being told to you will be able to work remotely some days of the weeks, yet finding out you are not going to be working remotely is ridiculous.

Thank you for your comments. The culture of the company requires people to own their function and put their hand up right away if something is not known. Any tasks not completed fall on management, giving them a vested interest in ensuring team members are able to function effectively. The expectation is for employees to be available during normal business hours whether present on site or working remotely; with some positions requiring more face-to-face interaction than others. With changing environments both internally and externally, I agree that there is room for improvement in structure in many areas, however management created additional SOPs in tools such as Confluence for step-by-step execution of a tasks, inclusive of documentation templates. I am sorry you did not feel supported in your experience with us and will work to further improve these areas.

Pros

This is a company with great potential. Great products in a high growth market with good people to execute. Also have good distribution partners and relationships in the industry.

Cons

Upper management is the biggest weakness. Specifically, the CEO has no clue how to manage or motivate people and makes short term decisions solely based on stock price. In many ways, this company is sacrificing its long term heath to meet a quarterly target. When nobody can wave a magic wand to make the market recover, the CEO resorts to micromanagement, thinking that if you look at something long enough and with enough eyes, it will change. It is a demoralizing management style and one that will limit the long term success of the company. Swap out a few key people at the top and this company could be very successful. Also, be sure to innovate in the right markets. Don't always chase the shiny objects, sometimes the biggest gains are growing the markets where you already have a strong presence.
