Pros

On a regular basis they pay you money for staying employed here.

Cons

HR wouldn't be spamming Glassdoor with fake reviews if things were great. CEO thinks he's the smartest person in the room and therefore is always right, but really has no idea how big data processing works and won't let anyone tell him. He bought a company that gave him all the right buzzwords and it was too expensive to keep everyone so we laid off our own employees. Expecting everyone who is left will be blamed when the smoke and mirrors don't pan out.

CEO is failing badly

Pros

Good people, good benefits, decent pay.

Cons

The CEO’s unrealistic expectations and failure to inspire are dragging the company down. He is hypercritical, often demoralizing people with phrases like “You’re overcomplicating it.” His lack of patience and constant introduction of new top priorities each week create chaos. Believing he is the smartest person in the room, he undermines his hires and is quick to anger, fostering an environment of fear by removing anyone who disagrees with him. He surrounds himself with yes-men, whom he ultimately blames when his ideas fail. The high turnover at the C-level is not a sign of improvement; it merely highlights who the real problem is. My advice to potential replacements: avoid working for this man. The money is not worth it, and you will not succeed here.

Pros

I cannot find many pros. As others have said, there are some great people here, but unfortunately, they are not in a position of influence. The merger with 605 has brought in better leadership, so perhaps long term there can be positive changes.

Cons

Every organization, including Sales, Product, Marketing, Engineering, CS, etc., operates independently and in complete disarray. C-Level does not make decisions in a timely fashion, and the employees suffer because of it. Annual comp plans are not completed until well into Q2 and always contain significant changes to the previous year. The plans are intentionally obtuse and it would take a Field's Medal winner to properly calculate payout. Top performers are laid off or terminated to avoid paying commissions. 10% layoffs have become an annual event with smaller ones throughout the year. Great employees come and go while bad ones have a long tenure.
