Lacking business strategy

Pros

The individual people who actually deliver client value are incredible.

Cons

Management & Leadership often discourage value delivery in the shortest time, by introducing more stage-gates & process, delaying decisions, & focusing on metrics (to the detriment of behaviors). Those same managers & leaders are often mediocre at providing inspirational vision & motivation. Top talent is escorted out the door through relentless layoffs or demotivational behaviors from middle level mgmt.

Pros

Not much positive other than remote working

Cons

Comp plans came out 5 months into the work year. Commission payments are a mess. Not paid yet for sales this year and others are getting paid for things they didn’t sell. Leadership is all focused on Amplify and the fact is they need to amplify getting their act together. They created a mess with a poor reorganization and execution. What a mess.

Pros

- Good starting salary, at higher range of entry level

Cons

- Company culture is NOT what they say. It is driven by gaslighting, egos, and complaints. Usually a lot of "I'm right and everyone else is wrong" so the loudest voice in the room usually is the favorite. I heard sexist and problematic remarks bullying others behind closed doors. - Relies constantly on individual tribal knowledge, very little documentation on important parts of the job. Pertinent industry knowledge and documentation were always out of date and/or inaccessible, which caused problems. Especially when people left. -Terrible communication between developers and upper management leads to problems and missed deadlines. - HR is terrible and did not let me change positions internally, or help with culture problems.
