Entrata reviews

If you look back through these reviews, you'll see that there have been complaints about our "growing pains" for close to three years now. You would think that there is a point at which growing pains have gone on so long that they would be more accurately referred to as institutionalized dysfunction, and I feel confident that we passed that point a long time ago. The problems only become more intractable with each passing year. Unfortunately CEO Dave Bateman would rather spend his time touting his LDS bona fides at local business schools or giving interviews to B2B publications no one reads because his PR machine won him some new dumb award. I can't see how anyone can be enthusiastic about working for a company that has seemingly has a policy of stealing ideas from its own business partners and lying compulsively to our customers to sell them products that don't work. It's taken me a few years to come grips with these feelings, but my conclusion is that I have unfortunately devoted the last few years of my life to working for a group of demented, amoral sociopaths, and I pray that I am able to get out of here before the whole enterprise implodes and destroys my reputation along with my job.

If the rest of the industry didn't lag so far behind to start with, all of PSI's clients would have already left. The industry is catching up, all while flagship products (Entrata) sit in eternal beta testing or receive little to no attention or improvements. The instability and outages are discouraging and frustrating to employees and clients. This can be traced back to a CEO who is such a mad scientist manager and leader it can't be stressed enough. There is a reason that all of upper management has relationships with him that vary from strained to not on speaking terms. I wish I could think of one positive thing to say about Dave Bateman's current abilities as a CEO. He fails at almost every level of leadership and management. So while you may initially take a job here and really enjoy reporting to some great middle managers, know that if you progress far enough you will be subject to a CEO who wields absolute control and thinks he (and each of his late night, coding-induced ideas) is infallible. He uses his control to spread company resources on so many new products and projects that the products that actually make money and have the chance to be successful will be so bug ridden and time delayed that they'll never take over the market like they might have. I could go on with anecdotes, but I feel very strongly that PSI will never achieve its true potential with Dave Bateman at the helm, and the compensation, training, and product quality will all stay at their current poor levels unless he steps aside.
