Pros

I now have a reason to procrastinate for a few minutes checking to see who's quit and if anyone's posted new reviews. A few of the solid folk appear to be still around - I won't name them, in the interest of their remaining employed, but there's quite a bit of quality if you look for it.

Cons

First, I want to say that these comments pertain to Jeff Mullen and are *not* emblematic of anyone else I worked with. Unfortunately, his management "style" doesn't allow the more experienced to prevail, so any job at Dynamics is subject to his whims. The two areas of my most concern are: lack of ethics and focus on marketing while disregarding product quality. When representatives from a bank flew in to visit the production facilities (largely, I presume, because the company was way behind the promised quota), the entire company was informed to turn the whiteboards to the wall that could have shown them the *true* production numbers. All of which is an example of the strategy of marketing / sales without concern about how the promises made will be met, or about product quality. The equipment for the production line was barely in place in time for the major release, and certainly no cohesive production processes / quality control standards had been implemented. (Do a search for CIBC Double Double complaints... I don't think I've read complaints about the *physical* credit card before this one). Bringing upper management down to work on the production line naturally just made things worse. Originally, I was psyched about the technology, which now, frankly, is old hat. Even were the technology to remain at the cutting edge, poor production makes it irrelevant. So, in sum, don't work here. Unless you really don't care about what you're contributing to the world and can tune out the Jeff.

Pros

Since day one I have been treated as if I have been part of the team for 10 years. They really understand a work/life balance. The team is great and very helpful. CEO is very knowledgable and shares his knowledge and helps others learn. The enviroment is very team oriented and they take the time to catch everyone up to speed, even with previous projects. Good benefits. Cutting edge industry changing projects.

Cons

Computers could use some updating.

Pros

The people you suffer with are the only highlight

Cons

- The stale/stagnant upper "management" (They're not really management because the CEO micromanages absolutely everything). - The CEO tells everyone they are useless so that they won't feel like they deserve a raise. - The CEO wants to only hire desperate people because, they have no where else to go. - The CEO micromanages everything and prevents engineers from engineering solutions (the whole point of their job) - The CEO has extremely bad "good idea fairy syndrome" where he enacts last second changes to processes, software, equipment, etc. without any input. Those decisions lead to extra support needed on weekends, significantly slowed processes, and pointing fingers at everyone else for being the problem. - The CEO will never admit he makes mistakes, calls you a liar when you call him out and show him evidence, and challenges people to blame him for the issues occuring - I could go on and on, but you have to understand at this point that you shouldn't be working here. Do not believe the fake 'good' reviews on here. The CEO says that Glassdoor is for collecting negative reviews so that Glassdoor can hold the company for ransom to remove all the bad reviews for a large sum of money.
