Pros

Salary was in-line with competition

Cons

Executive management, especially the "CEO" Perse Faily. EMN8 is funded by a group of venture capitalist who are playing office. There doesn't appear to be any true managerial skills between them, particularly Perse Faily and it has a trickle down effect. I think she is driven to be a CEO but could not be a worse one busying herself with analytical work that should be done by associates, as it is in most VC firms. The benefit side and salary is good, but the atmosphere both in San Diego and in Los Angeles is depressing. I assume that it's this way at most of there portfolio companies. I know they have one in Phoenix. Can only assume that this, as with all of their companies, is one big tax write off for Mr. Sid R. Bass.

worst executive management

Pros

pay is in line with market, there are some talented employees

Cons

Bar none the worst executive management team. The CEO does not lead by setting out a strategic vision then empowering - she micro manages. Other executives in key positions are unbearable to deal with or just have no leadership skills. Execution problems permeate throughout the organization. Middle managers that have been there a significant amount of time have learned terrible habits and anyone else good moves on. EMN8 has had some major talent loses recently due to these issues - folks that could have moved the needle, and more are to come. There is no real strategy so a path to profitability is completely unclear and to attempt to empower yourself to fix this is futile. Low morale, teams vary from being skeptical and detached to being in tears on a regular basis. To make matters worse they have started hiring key positions in LA (where you can except to be screamed at daily) instead of San Diego so going in the opposite direction of breaking down silos - they are building them.

Pros

Middle managers and workers are good. Pay and benefits good (only if you know that you must threaten to leave to get a raise). Good social atmosphere.

Cons

-the executive leadership doesn't communicate anything to the underlings, must rely on rumors and read the signs. Executives make promises then they don't fulfill them. -there is a steady stream of talent leaving the company. New positions are only to fill empty spots from the casualties. -promotions are only for those people in good standing with the executives. Must kiss butt for years to get promoted, or if you are valuable you can threaten to leave to get promoted. -MICROMANAGEMENT trickles down. Should executives be directly calling low level managers to find out the status of projects?
