Pros

When I worked at Harmonia, it was staffed with some of the most intelligent and talented people I have ever worked with. From upper management to the line developers, there is not a single one of them that I would not be overjoyed to work with again.

Cons

This is from several years back, but at the time the company was stuck in a cycle where it would shoot for the moon and miss badly. Upper management kept trying to wave a magic wand to achieve nearly impossible tasks. When things failed, they sometimes got bitter and sometimes got angry. Once that happened I was shocked at how poorly I was treated. Very ugly, very vindictive.

It is true that our early years were a bit of a challenge. Not to say that we don't have newer challenges now, but we have done pretty well in recent years, in part because as you have pointed out, we did find the things we can do really well but mostly because of an incredibly talented team! We'd love to speak with you again, invite you to see how we've grown and tell us what you think - call us or write to us!

Pros

The CEO demonstrates authenticity and a sincere interest in employee growth. Note there was a change in CEO (Saboo is no longer acting CEO)

Cons

*The Chief Accounting Officer (CAO) consistently overrides employee authority and dictates decisions instead of collaborating. *Roles and responsibilities shift without discussion, creating confusion and frustration. *High performers' contributions are minimized or ignored by the CAO. *The CFO promised autonomy at hiring but did not uphold that trust. *Executive leadership communicates poorly and unprofessionally. *Chain of command is unclear, leaving employees caught between two sets of expectations. *Executive leadership does not know how to lead anyone. They were plastered with a nice title and comfy salary. Some communicate/dictate to their teams while others do not communicate at all. Worst team I've ever seen.
