We need a management transfusion

Pros

Most of the reviews have covered the pros. We have a great office with lots of steel and glass. The location on centennial campus is great. The cafe is nice with the obligatory free snacks and soft drinks. The culture is relaxed with a casual work pace.

Cons

Many of the reviews on this site trend toward a theme: poor leadership and management. That is the principal drawback at WebAssign. We employee a diverse group of talented individuals. But we lack an executive team that can lead them. The problem starts at the top. Our founder departed several years ago, and although he had no experience running a company, he inspired confidence and drove us to succeed. Since his departure, we lack leadership. We need a leader and an executive team that can inspire and lead.

Pros

Casual, flexible environment. Great location. Reasonable work hours. Fairly collaborative culture.

Cons

Seemingly obvious problems in management that took forever to get fixed. Sounds like some of that has changed, so perhaps its gotten better.

Pros

Free snacks and beverages. Easy work pace. One free beer pint each week. Coolers to store your lunch. Close to downtown.

Cons

Most of the senior management team (2 of 3 C level executives and 3 of 4 VPs) have no experience in the education industry and they are unable to guide the company, product and customer relations. The management team spends too much time “offsite” boozing it up and wasting money. The product (we have only one product) is stale and the other education companies have surpassed us. The president believes that we are a technology company, yet our technology is almost 20 years old. It takes years to deliver new product features and they are chasing the competition. Other than 401K matching, the family benefits packages are the worst I’ve seen. Employee salaries are the lowest in the triangle. The town hall meetings are an attempt to prop up morale, but they are ineffectual. Open and loud office space.
