Pros
Very flexible work schedule, decent pay and benefits. Lot's of company holidays,
Cons
There isn't much I can add to the posts written since the beginning of 2016. It's all very consistent with my experience. No resources or training for employees, no concern for customers, other than how much revenue can be squeezed out of them, etc., etc. It is really sad, EFI has a large customer base that has grown to trust them and has not yet realized the level of dis-function going on internally at EFI. Mgmt is constantly making customer site visits to assure them all is well, when clearly it isn't. Products don't work and can't be used, yet more broken products continue to get pushed out the door on a regular basis. Promises to correct things are not kept because resources that could be dedicated to fixing the problems are diverted to focus on the vaporware needed to close 'the next big deal'. Or they have yet another round of RIF's (Reduction in Force) and long tenured, knowledgeable resources are laid off. Yet somehow customers keep trusting them and giving them another chance. I think they don't want to believe the culture has changed and they can no longer trust that EFI has their best interests at heart. When customers realize this the repercussions will be significant. It is unfortunate that what employees once regarded as 'a great company to work for' has fallen so far. Employees don't trust management. They don't believe they are listened to or appreciated. And they wont say anything for fear if they do, they will be in the next round of RIF's. No one I knew had a personal or professional development plan at EFI, they had an 'exit strategy' - how long can I hang on - until I find another job? Can I make it to retirement? Should I stay until they RIF me so at least I get to take some cash with me when I go? The last option seemed to be getting the most traction when I left. What does it say about a company whose employees want to get laid off? For a long time I thought mgmt really didn't understand or realize what was happening. Then one day it dawned on me that they totally understand what is happening, but they no longer care. This is the price the company has decided to pay to get to 1 billion dollars. I wish them well and really hope they can find a way to pull out of this downhill spiral.
