Ivanti reviews

- integration of acquired companies is always difficult and the churn of employees through acquisitions is unfortunately rather high

I came over in a recent acquisition and it has been nothing but terrible. The communication is all over the place - we were told by the CEO that we were acquired for our strengths, our people and our product but when we got into the motion and heard from the CPO and her directors, it was evident that they didn't even know what they acquired. The CPO had major plans for the company that was made on incompetence and lack of vision. No one under her has a backbone to make decisions or push back when things don't make sense. A lot of management came from BMC where they made huge mistakes - and are repeating those mistakes here. They do not listen to customers and they do not care about the quality of the products they're developing. We've lost over half of our R&D department and were told that it's Software and that turnover is normal, but instead of hiring local talent, they decided to off shore to India and hire Development teams over there. The only thing that matters to Ivanti is the bottom line and spending as little money as possible on their products. It's apparent that they're short termers looking to make it big in either a company sale or in buffering their portfolio to go public. You will not be valued as an employee or a customer. The lack of communication is another thing. Upper management in Engineering and Product do not speak to each other and are not on the same page. Rumors get spread in every direction because one group is saying one thing and another group hears another. Management works in silos and it is evident - projects get killed but communication happens months later. No one in management can answer to decisions being made when asked. And asking questions gets you a fast pass to being laid off. The employees laid off during acquisitions with severance packages are the lucky ones.
