Bad place to work

Pros

Great teammates Good work/life balance No after-hours work

Cons

Top executives lack vision and direction. They paid a consulting company lots of money to drive the development of a new product only to cancel it shortly before launch. Also flip-flopped on whether or not to sell a different version of that product even when customers were asking for it Wrong/incompetent people in key management roles Middle management is full of pencil pushers who have been conditioned to only do what they are told to do. No initiative and no free thought to the point where even small-talk with their reports seems like a challenge Company culture is based on rigid and antiquated rules that seem to be meant to instill fear rather than provide a safe and friendly work environment Everything is a secret. Managers have no scruples lying to their reports about already known "secrets" No career growth or development. You get told to go to a conference or training without being consulted or even asked whether it has any benefit or not IT setup and rules hinder work progress and sometimes block it Small boats stored in the employees parking lot!

Pros

The nice thing about this place is it is always clean as they have janitorial services working during the early mornings to afternoon so the place is very clean. The coffee is always hot and ready, vending machines carry nice snacks, and most everything in the newest building above the restaurant is new so fair to say, its better than other buildings. The only good thing about this place are the few employees who are smart and do their job. They are good people working their tails off to earn their paycheck in hopes to one day promote and continue on their career paths.

Cons

I'll keep it simple: - no clear direction - management is as confused as their subordinates - management does not know how to lead - the owner keeps women from advancing (yes, I'm aware of the FEW handful of women in supervisory and management positions) - web development is behind the times as is their staff and it shows in their lack of skills - some web development don't deserve those jobs, they don't even know what they're doing and heavily lean on the ones that do to cover their lack of skills - management is just as clueless, those people get promoted only because of tenure not because they have earned their place at the table - one walks around with his turkey neck acting nonchalant and friendly, but is worthless to his team and the company, but he does play it well. - in order to fit in you have to do some major "friend-making" and be below average intelligence level. Dont believe me? Take a job there and observe, you'll be back here writing a similar review Take a look at the ratings. When a negative rating is given, management hints at it to subordinates so they go on there and give a review. Take a look at the reviews and you'll see how many good reviews follow a bad.
