Geospatial Reorganization

Pros

Due to lack of long term focus and clear objectives, the company lacks constant development and acquires technologies instead. Those acquisitions bring overhead and then after low sales cycles, reorganization triggers layoffs. Management is driven by old surveying groups that think that position technologies orbit around surveyors, leaving behind other more important players in the Geospatial industry.

Cons

No strategies whatsoever. End of quarters are the best time for dealers since Regional Management offers discounts that do not even bring anything to the company. There are managers that were laid off and are so cheeky that go back to their dealers requesting letters to have them back in the company.

Pros

Good hard-working employees and nice facilities

Cons

The division I worked reorganized about every six months with no clear purpose or clear objectives and was usually accompanied by layoffs of productive employees. The company lacks vision and direction, and what is communicated usually changes to different priorities the next week. Regular and automated processes are almost non-existent. The pay is not competitive. All the layoffs and lack of efficient processes make it nearly impossible to meet revenue objectives despite working 60+ hour weeks. This is definitely the worst managed company I've worked.

Pros

Interesting work, great people,

Cons

A select few can advance. Negative outlook. Ongoing & consistent layoffs. Raises are little to nothing. Acquisition seems to be the focus of the CEO, even when the existing products and acquired companies continue to fail. "It's all about who you know." Underhanded Politics behind the scenes.
