Pros

Energetic young team trying to build a new platform in a mature market. Has tremendous potential to be an exciting place to be and do exciting things in an otherwise boring market.

Cons

Management driven by greed. Willing to eat their own alive. Management struggles to find purpose in the company other than making a profit.

Pros

This category requires a twenty word minimum so I will say that there were and still are some brilliant, hard-working, and exemplary employees at SevOne. The trouble is most of them are leaving now that the holidays are over because they, too, cannot fathom how the company and its management team is allowed to lead such a dysfunctional organization. Once these employees are gone, there won't be much left. Sure, the Delaware office is pretty cool, but what's a slide in the office when there is no one left to go down it....?

Cons

There are many challenges to working at SevOne. However, the biggest challenge is the male management team. They will disregard all of your hard work and effort because of your age and gender, meaning there is no career advancement if you are a young female. Respect and integrity is nonexistent in the executive team. They do not appreciate their employees. It is evident in the way they handled a massive lay-off last year, and the fact that the voluntary turnover continues to rise. The leaders have no vision to lead or inspire their current employees to strive forward. Take a look at the rest of the Glassdoor reviews, these are not just disgruntled employees that have been terminated from the company. These are people who worked tirelessly to make SevOne a success and eventually realized that despite all their efforts, they would never be appreciated and so they moved on to new workplaces and are doing their due diligence to forewarn anyone considering employment at SevOne.

Pros

All the best things about SevOne existed four years ago when I joined. I got to work with top notch engineers, was free to stop in and chat with the company's president, CTO, VP of development, or pretty much anyone else at any time. They listened to our ideas, and implemented the good ones. We had games nights, quarterly musical jam sessions (Garage Band) with open bar and buffer, ultimate frisbee - real camaraderie.

Cons

Bain Capital bought in, and started bloating the top. MBA's decided it wasn't necessary to hire the best engineers - greenhorns were cheaper. The executive offices were moved 350 miles north, but they still claimed to have an "open door" policy. (And there were a LOT more doors; you just couldn't get to them.) The founders lost control. We no longer had a reputation of the thickest door in IT. Quarterly Garage Band happy hours stopped. Lip service was being paid to Quality while coding time was cut. Massive layoffs of workers when bloated Bain management couldn't whip the sales team into selling as much as they wanted. The Garage Band's founding coordinator was laid off. Morale took a nose dive. Bain management decided the best way to fix it was to lay off a bunch more workers. Now they seem mystified as to why morale and sales did not improve as a consequence. "You have unlimited PTO now!" Of course if you take any, expect to be among the next group receiving pink slips. (Did I say that out loud? Just kidding.)
