Pros

-Amazing people to work with. In the time I was there I had the opportunity to work with skilled professionals that are great people in and out of the office -Great Pay. Made over 100K each year -Free Hot Chocolate

Cons

-Change in direction and core values every 4-6 months -the only thing that was consistent on the sales floor was change. -No training -Product was very buggy and clients where mad allot -They have a perfect demo site to show clients but it is setup in a way that very few companies actually operate so it sells awesome but actually does not work that well for many customers -Their consulting leadership is a Joke! They want to charge clients 2-3 times what they actually need just to show they have value in that department, all the while the consultants they send out are under trained and manage to tick off the brand new clients due to lack of product knowledge. not a very smart business model. (Now that being said I do not feel this is because of the consultants personally but rather lack of training)

Pros

Great product with potential to be great. Employees are great to work with despite managements single minded vision. Good focus on team building activities.

Cons

The main focus of the executive team is Sell Sell Sell the company in 3 years. Thus, the executives have a knee jerk reaction to poor decisions making that result in constant unpredictable change. There is very little room for advancement. Rather, they attempt to make a large "good ol boys" club through hiring friends and family over qualified individuals. Employee opinions are to be closely and carefully guarded. AtTask does not believe in salary raises. Be prepared to remain at the same pay. Product development believes they know what is best for customer and communicates very little to the customer. The lack of understanding of sales results in a quarterly, if not monthly, change in sales compensation plans, making it difficult to be strategic. Be prepared to be planned if you do not meet or exceed 100% of quota for two quarters. Absolutely no change management, nor a desire to create one. Marketing has no strategy and is leaderless.

Pros

Great people, great technology and a great product. Lots of upside potential and a passionate and dedicated staff to help achieve it. Courage to try new things and a deep disdain for the status quo.

Cons

Culture is still forming and sometimes change is not managed as well as it could be. Current market strategy may be played out.
