Pros

The IP that Enavate acquired from MBSDev in 2015 is one of the best and most promising out there. The people were great.

Cons

Very little talent left after Enavate cleaned house. Most of the Executive Management that handled the acquisition and merger have left the company, for better or worse. Management kept throwing around the word "family" to describe what we supposedly were. Most of us bought into it and worked diligently trying to turn this into a world class company. If we were a family, it was the type where the parents lie to the children with a smile on their faces assuring everyone that things were great. Unfortunately management didn't, and still doesn't, understand how to run a company. They allowed clients and sales to dry up. Once they realized there were money issues they did a 180, fired most of their consultants, and focused entirely on sales. How exactly do you support a sale when there are no warm bodies left to implement and manage client requirements? That is the question that Exec Mgmt continues to fail to address. At the beginning Consultants and Developers were laid off as your standard post-acquisition downsizing. At the end? Laid off because there hadn't been any work available for 5 months. That should tell the entire story right there.

You are correct that the IP we acquired is pretty cool. Although it needs a refresh which is a large investment and then we will promote and sell our IP as we roll it forward to Dynamics 365. We have had to make some tough decisions to right size the business and are happy to say that it has worked. We do believe in family and by definition families stick together as we move forward in to the future.

Pros

Enavate's current atmosphere is one of team building and opportunity. There is a lot of career growth to be had if you approach the job with the right mindset. The career growth often leads to promotions for existing team members. Benefits are pretty nice, especially the unlimited PTO and not having to worry about how many days you can take off each year. Employees are empowered to bring their ideas forward and guide their own role in some capacity. There is a lot of flexibility in the roles and how individuals can contribute to the overall company vision.

Cons

Enavate is a business at the end of the day. Sometimes that means difficult decisions must be made about layoffs and reductions. That is the unfortunate reality for most companies, not just Enavate. Company goals tend to be overly optimistic. It's great to aim for the stars. But sometimes it's hard to translate those goals into actionable items for the individual teams.
