No strategy or ability to execute.

Pros

People here are friendly, helpful and really want to do good work. Technology space is very exciting and cool. Company has all the right pieces to do exciting things. Great benefits and work/life balance.

Cons

The leadership team cannot intelligently communicate a strategy or an execution path to reach market opportunities. They point to PowerPoint slides and call it a strategy (scary). There is no structured market strategy that drives alignment through the organization. The level of dysfunction across departments is out of hand. Company is losing its focus, ability to execute and deliver on time. There is little accountability at all levels and key players all around are leaving. No career paths.

Pros

Pay, benefits and perks all great. The company and many of the employees are big on charitable contributions and care about the community.

Cons

IT really frowns upon remote work, which is so surprising for a high-tech company. There were some REALLY bad managers who caused multiple good employees to leave, but even though HR and upper management was aware of the problems they did nothing. As the company grew, a lot of new management came in and the culture began to change. Less work-life balance - those putting in really long hours were the most valued. High turn-over in IT.
