Terrible Upper Management

Pros

The coffee is great.

Cons

I have worked with this company for many years in North America. Over the last 5 or so I have never seen such poor corporate upper management. The 2 or 3 individuals that run North America are, what seems to be, over their head in managing this company. They treat the employees very poorly as well and partners. They take zero accountability and literally try to force everything they can down our throats to increase sales with zero though behind the process. ( actually there is no process) Its laughable to most that have been with the company more than 10 years. Almost all the team is unhappy and miserable but due to the reactionary type of management everyone walks around scared. Its is one of the worst corporate cultures I have ever seen in my life and continues to deteriorate.

Good people and products

Pros

Excellent products, great people, a base of enterprise class technology, work-life balance, family atmosphere, good location.

Cons

They are not driven by high growth, Marketing spend, brand recognition, money. They are purists. Excellent coffee prepared with an obsessive attention to detail. This can be good, but it depends on what your are looking for. If you want growth and opportunities, then this isn't it. You may be satisfied for 5yrs and get attracted by products, people, and environment. It will get old, but difficult to leave.

Pros

lots of things to do

Cons

poor management, not allowing employees to grow inside the company always bringing external FRIENDS placing them in high level jobs, in even though they aren't fit. There's a particular boss that will leave you out of projects depending if she likes you or not. Lowgrading skills. Using bad words in meetings, talking bad about others behind their backs.
