Pros
There are still some smart people around. It's a miracle we haven't lost a client (yet).
Cons
Let's first start with the facts: - Two mass layoffs in less than 7 months - Two VPs of Technology left the company in less than 8 months - SevOne's rating here dropped from 4.5 to 2.8 in less than a year - Founders left the company - HR department left the company/was fired - Part of development is being outsourced to India I'm not sharing any confidential information - you can check all the facts by simply using Google. Now, let's discuss the company in more detail. Overall, the biggest problems are the total lack of leadership, vision and skills. - Bottlenecks - you can find them everywhere - from middle to senior level management. - Incompetence - a lot people don't even understand the product. Sadly, they are responsible for managing it. - Politics - most of the managers only talk but when it comes down to actions, they disappear. They cannot even answer simple questions and continue to play the Buzzword Bingo until you get tired of listening to generic answers. - Blame - you will be monitored, evaluated and blamed for problems, although sometimes you have nothing to do with them. - Low moral - a lot of people already left or are looking for new job. - Disconnection - there is a huge gap across all levels in the company - No process - there are exactly 0 procedures, it's a total chaos everywhere. Agility is a word that you constantly hear but it has no meaning at SevOne. Most of the projects are completed by hero developers who know the product well enough. But guess what - soon they will leave too.
