Not What It Used To Be

Pros

The best part about SevOne has always been its people. They are kind, hardworking, intelligent, fun, and passionate. They became my friends and family, because that's what SevOne used to be - a family. I still talk to all of them, but while I used to be so proud to have worked at SevOne and I believed in it there are almost no redeeming aspects anymore besides the good people who remain.

Cons

After this year, turnover is very high; more and more employees are leaving, such as the whole HR team and the founders of the company. They aren't leaving just because they found other jobs - they are leaving because they know what's really going on, and it's ugly. Upper management doesn't respect its employees or treat them well anymore. Employees are rewarded not because they earned it, but because they survived the layoffs and are still sticking around, and management is afraid they'll leave too. Quality or quantity of work doesn't matter anymore, how hard and well you work doesn't matter anymore. It's all a numbers game, and anyone could be next. There will undoubtedly be more layoffs in the future, and no one is safe. Once we moved into the new building, they kept throwing things at us we didn't need that cost a fortune. People even specifically asked for these things to stop BECAUSE we didn't need them or ask for them. SevOne didn't have good money management, and its employees suffered. We used to happy to come into work every day, because it was a fun, friendly place, where everyone worked ridiculously hard. And it isn't anymore. It's quiet, empty, tense... the startup feel they advertise is rotting. If you choose to work here, you are being blindsided by the "positives" they pretend to have, because the culture of awesome doesn't exist anymore and you will regret accepting an offer. I would have done anything for this company, and I did - worked long hours, did work that had nothing to do with my job, had much lower pay than I could have, etc., and I loved it, and I learned so much and found several lifelong friendships. And as much as I miss it every day, it is not the place we used to love, and I would warn anyone against joining.

Pros

I used to think that this is great company to work for but it turn out it is the worst company that i ever work for. No pros.

Cons

Where to start.. Product is old and full of bugs, all new releases have proven to be major failures. No communications, lack of leadership, low pay grade. They will trick you with free lunches twice a week but its just a distraction.

Pros

Decent compensation, incredibly bright people, and plenty of fringe benefits try to capture that "startup feel." Fair work/life balance, and the new office is nice.

Cons

With smart people come huge egos, and there certainly are plenty. Improvements to the product are routinely shot down "because I said so," and decisions are made seemingly arbitrarily and completely opaquely to the employees. Communication between executives and the rest of the company is, as noted in another review, nearly nonexistent, with weeks passing with no contact with anyone from the Boston office. I spent months unsure of my job description or even my direct supervisor's name, but was still expected to do my job...whatever it was that day.
