Pros
I am relatively new to Technomics (just over 2 years), so I don’t have the long history that many others have and can’t comment on how things used to be in the old days. I can however say that the negative reviews I read here do not reflect the Technomics I know and love. Yes, my understanding is Technomics at some point had outgrown itself. As a result, our management team struggled to operate in the ever changing, increasingly competitive market. Changes were made, led by our CEO. The fact that he recognized the need to change and was arguably the person most impacted, in my book, makes him a courageous leader. By the way, how many CEOs nowadays know or care about what projects his/her employees are working on? And I’m not talking about superficial involvement. The guy more often than not would dive right in and help develop methodologies and approaches. When he reviews our work products, we actually get substantive feedback (sometimes more than we like!).
I have what appears to be a highly competitive salary (thanks, glassdoor), I have great benefits (including a very generous leave policy) and I get great learning opportunities. I get to do challenging work. When I need help, there are plenty of experts around I can go to for help. If I ever decide to finally get my graduate degree, I get great tuition assistance. Even though I am a “junior”, I get to interact directly with my clients. I am encouraged to speak my mind with them (based on analytical rigor of course), with my colleagues and with the management team. And they seem to appreciate it when I do. As for company performance, we seem to have strong consistent results, even in the last two years. While many in our field seem to be shrinking in size and cutting benefits left and right, we continue to grow. But is everything perfect? No, of course not. What company is? At least I know in our small close-knit company, someone always appreciates me doing good project work and doing what I can to try to make us better. So honestly, I cannot be happier.
Cons
There is a small minority still dwelling on ancient history!
