Pros

Great culture and people. Work atmosphere was relaxed, yet challenging. New products were very interesting. Overall, the company seemed to have a good spot in the marketplace, and was positioned to become a market leader. Work was steady and pay was average.

Cons

They brought in a new CEO and completely changed the direction of the company. Every person with any experience was let go, or left voluntarily. This included every level of the company from staff through management. No one seems to have any idea what the new vision is for the company, or how they will get there.

New CEO talks a big game

Pros

I have worked here for a year and the company I joined was a great place. The people cared about their work, each other and the clients. I woke up each day wanting to go to work.

Cons

A new CEO joined about 6 months ago and watching him suck the life out of this place has been tough. We all tried to give him a chance as he was suppose to understand how to run a tech company. The technology he chose does not work, the major release of our analytics platform was suppose to be released in December then January and last week it was about to be released and it failed. We are out selling something we can not seem to deliver. We basically are selling vaporware. The guy is always saying how bad our technology is and how the company did not know what it was doing. Well...then why did you accept the job is everything is so bad? Why doesn't he understand that his rants (about how terrible everything is) actually hurt the people who came before him and make him look foolish for joining the company? I don't know anyone (including the new people) who actually has trusts or respects him. Even his "followers" don't buy into his act.

It makes me sad to see what's become of this place

Pros

Once upon a time, Fishbowl was an epicenter of great culture, happy people, and excited clients. People worked hard and were genuinely excited to come to the office--it was like hanging out with your closest friends every day and working towards a common goal. Throw in the occasional office party for holidays, a great view, and bagels every Friday, and it was truly an awesome place to build a career.

Cons

I haven't worked at Fishbowl since about a year ago (willingly left when things started to sour). At the time I left, it was evident that the new regime was only invested in a get-rich-quick scheme. They didn't care about any of the people who were there, and immediately let go of a bunch of really strong professionals--many of whom were very accomplished before coming to Fishbowl and will be successful wherever they end up next. Since then, there has been a lot of outsourcing of work to India, and incompetent fat-cats hired to important positions (namely the CTO). If you're thinking about working here, my advice is simple: don't. It will be the worst decision you've ever made.
