We need a management transfusion - Anonymous employee WebAssign Employee Review

Pros

Most of the reviews have covered the pros. We have a great office with lots of steel and glass. The location on centennial campus is great. The cafe is nice with the obligatory free snacks and soft drinks. The culture is relaxed with a casual work pace.

Cons

Many of the reviews on this site trend toward a theme: poor leadership and management. That is the principal drawback at WebAssign. We employee a diverse group of talented individuals. But we lack an executive team that can lead them. The problem starts at the top. Our founder departed several years ago, and although he had no experience running a company, he inspired confidence and drove us to succeed. Since his departure, we lack leadership. We need a leader and an executive team that can inspire and lead.

Pros

Lots of natural light in the office. If you want a place to show up and do less than challenging work on a daily basis, this is the place for you. That is the job security factor. Fresh fruit once a week and the unoriginal usual offering of chips, soda, candy, coffee stuff plus the equally unoriginal beer/wine once a week thing.

Cons

Everything about it is lackluster, out dated and stale; the "culture", technology, innovation and reoccurring "struggles" of the company as a whole. Management has no clue how to mindfully engage much less walk the walk the expect of others. Drones for the most part. Advancement? Unless this is your first job, don't expect to be compensated (annual reviews are subjective; the review "formula" for rating is kept hidden from employees) nor find a path to higher career success. Purse-strings for annual "bonus" are pulled tight and equally as subjective. There are none with no where for a person with any experience to go in this company.
