Extreme Tolerance for Retaliation

Anonymous employee

Pros

The CEO’s passion and tireless commitment to build better products. You can learn a lot from this. This is one of the biggest pros. Opportunity to learn new technologies. Better looking office and really a great chair for all employees The newly formed Crotia team. They know how to run a product team better than the guys in the LA office. Lots of free drinks and munchies

Cons

Total chaotic environment for sure. You can see many reviews says this. The company management doesn't enforce integrity and non-retaliation among the employees in the company. A couple of employees who don't deserve the positions for their skill level are building a team of trustable, loyal, silent, average skilled people who don’t question them. Many skilled voluble candidates have been rejected by them intentionally. At least a dozen people quit the company in the last 2 years just because of the extreme politics orchestrated by couple of employees. The biggest problem is full tolerance for retaliation. This affects the morale of the employees all the time. Even after several people raised so many retaliating complaints against a person, the management didn’t take any action, most who were directly reporting this person quit the company.

On a downhill spiral, DO NOT get sucked into this facade

Pros

Costco Delivery - after you start to see through the cloud of false promises, this is the only positive thing you have left to look forward to day in and day out.

Cons

I worked for this company for almost 3 years and kept telling myself things would get better. They take enthusiastic employees and exploit their efforts endlessly. The CEO is off in a dream world of where the company will be in 5 years but has no idea of the current state of the business. The president of the company is in the same boat selling products today that will not be available until that 5 year mark and considers 60 hours a week normal. Lastly, the consultant mentioned in many other reviews, is not only an obstacle to the company's growth and potential, his behavior is borderline uncomfortable. It is a SHAME how this company has done a complete 180 from success to what some may consider failure. The worst part is the employees that work tireless hours believing in something that the executive level is taking for granted. The company had real potential but as the years went by, the lack of management and attention to detail has created a pitfall. Not only is the professional community no longer considering NEOGOV as a competitor, but long standing customers have sensed their lack of responsibility and have predicted the downfall of the company. Just ask them for a solid customer reference.

Pros

You get free snacks, good culture (if you're caucasian and under 30 years old), no accountability if you have poor performance, PTO is managed poorly, so pretty much unlimited. Good place to gain "experience" and by experience I mean a paycheck. They do pay decent.

Cons

No company direction, changed at least 20 times in the 3 years I was there. No career progression - I was never trained, or pushed to be better, pretty much sink or swim on your own. Management will treat you like another cog in the wheel, for being under 100 employees, you'd think they'd care more about culture and you as a human. Turnover is around 50%. Average lifespan of an employee is less than a year, because it's such a mad house. If not for the SaaS business model and having 95% government customers, who are hell to work with, this ship wouldv'e sunk long ago.
