Pros
The company is in one of the fastest growing market segments right now, so there is a constant need to develop and improve upon processes and systems being used. It can give a lot of exposure to someone coming up in their career.
Cons
1. The new executive management team is quickly sucking the life out of the business. They are constantly "promoting" individuals to new roles for no good reason, creating a hostile environment causing top performers to search for new employment. They also performed the first layoff in the company's history, and it seems as though they are getting ready for another. 2. The office is terrible. People are crowded into an old mill space that could be nice if it weren't for the leaking roof, infestation of mice, or a parking lot better suited for bumper cars. On top of this, there aren't any good options for lunch within walking distance, so employees are stuck bringing a lunch or paying upwards of $10 for a bad sandwich in the downstairs cafe. 3. Getting anything done in this business is nearly impossible. Executives constantly push initiatives down to management, but then block the resources needed to execute (equipment, new hires, etc.) Additionally, projects and priorities change like the wind at Wyless. It is not rare for any one person to have 3-5 "top priorities" with no guidance from management on what the most important items actually are. 4. Collaboration between offices is practically non-existent. The sales force is run very differently in Europe versus the US, and who really knows what's happening in Brazil. The acquisitions from the first quarter of 2014 in the Netherlands and Brazil still don't seem finalized. Sales and finances are still being managed by the old ownership, and no efforts have been made to integrate systems or build scale economies.
