Pros

This has been the BEST company I have worked for. The past few years have been alot of growth and transition so we experience all the pains of that, but as a manager/leader it has only opened doors for me and my team. I do hear some of the rumblings of the challenges we have, but what company doesn't. It is what you make it and if you are positive, hardworking, and winning mindset I see many people taking advantage of the possibilities here. Many have created their own roles or learned skills they might not have being else where.

Cons

We have a tendency to give a lot of chances to those who are negative. There have been a lot of changes and just like there were positives there were negatives. Product strategy has seemed to be settled.

WOW, Thank you for the compliment. We have a group a highly committed and talented people working hard and in the same direction. It is nice to hear that you are having a good experience. We are in a growth mode that allows more talented people to join and carve out increasingly important roles for themselves.

Pros

Everyone really comes together to help each other out in times of crisis. Although strong workflows and processes are a work in progress, we have a lot of very hard working people that are seemingly available at all hours of the day and night to get us across the finish line on our high priority projects. The company is the leader in the market - we are in a great position, we need to execute to get us to greatness and take advantage of our advanced product suite. When I need help from management, they are there. As long as I articulate what I need to be successful, I know the team will support me. For folks that don't take initiative to speak to management, they can get jaded, but I know the management team is there to listen and learn - we just need people to communicate productively.

Cons

The hours expected for certain individuals is unsustainable, we need to continue to focus on maturing our products and services and continue to hire the best talent across our geographies in order to relieve these hard working individuals. Unfortunately, if everything is a priority, nothing is a priority, it is a day-to-day juggling act to determine the most important task.

Thanks for the feedback and advice. We agree, we need to mature our products and services, hire the best talent possible, provide learning and development opportunities to our existing employees, and make sure we focus on our priorities. The Defining Objectives we map our MBO goals to is one way we're trying to make sure we are aligned as a collective organization on accomplishing our goals. The weekly review of our KPI's at the executive level is another tool we use to monitor our products and services, to make sure we're focused on solving our customers issues. We appreciate the advice and are committed to supporting our hard working employees. I agree that we need to review our requirements of certain teams and their hours. We want to have a long term focus with consistent work requirements that are reasonable. This is currently a large area of focus for the executive team.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We are having a strong year with a shared vision, this is something we are very proud of! You are also correct that we have organizational fluctuations with our growth. One of our current areas of concentration is on providing additional training for our leaders and growing new leaders within our organization.
