The CEO is a joke and a push over, and is a weak decision maker. It's clear that the person running the company now is the COO/Director of Operations & Delivery, and he is as incompetent as they come. Even worse, he thinks he knows what he is doing, and initially convinces everyone else that he knows what he's doing by hiding behind industry certifications. The delivery (ops) side of the organization has become a mess as a result, which affects the overall health of the company.
While the administrative staff is very nice and kind of competent, they are very exclusive, childish, and gossipey. A lot of that stems from most of them being friends (and in some cases family members). The nepotism is very noticable in the administrative staff. There is a real sense of favoritism going on in the company.
Staff is treated with minimal perks and incentives for retainment. There is no Telecommuting policy, and the CEO has this ridiculous notion that if you aren't at your desk working, then you're not doing anything. Yet, you are expected to work insane hours. The 401(k) is awful, and health benefits are very expensive. Finally, there are *no* continuing education opportunities sponsored by the company. Even when you try to use the "continuing education" money they flaunt in their hire package, they make you jump through some serious hoops to get reimbursed. That is, unless you are in the inner circle and know what the ins and outs are.
