Their days are numbered. One word, the internet

Pros

Great culture, wonderful people, fun community events. Hibu's goal is to help small to medium sized businesses, allowing for better exposure.

Cons

Everything they do already exists. It's called the internet. By placing such an importance on the paper-based products, their target audience is becoming older Americans who are unable to figure out who to use an internet search.

Pros

The company has an great work life balance: flexible work hours, frequent opportunities to work from home, minimal travel. The benefits and salary are very competitive, including bonuses. The company has a Philanthropic mindset and tries to hold regular events to keep up morale. Company has been working hard to make the post-yellowbook business model work. They have worked themselves out of the financial and debt problems and are trying to grow their new digital business. Engineering department has the ability to make technical decisions with few restrictions.

Cons

Some parts of organization are overly bloated and processes can be burdensome at times. Little opportunity for career advancement. Leadership team does not seem execute very well or have good vision for future product/business growth. Overall company morale is somewhat low due to the consistent downsizing of the old yellowbook business. Ineffective use of offshore resources.

Pros

I gained a lot of professional experience and worked with great people. Given chances to advance become a SME.

Cons

Senior leaders making decisions without knowledge of day to day activities and the affects those decisions have. Conflicting communication by execs, say one thing do another. Job never felt secure. Little or inadequate training.
