Very bright tech company - Software Design Engineer Sonic Foundry Employee Review

Great people and collaborative culture!

Resources seem to be stretched.

The people - some more productive than others, some more experienced, but the culture and vibe in the office was great - unfortunately long gone. Good benefits, half-day Fridays, 30 days PTO, hybrid work environment.

CEO, CEO, CEO. Really admired Joe for a while, but his true colors are ugly. Terrible leader, thinks of himself as a great deal maker/team builder/seller and none of those are true. Drove the company into the ground! (what else do you call a CEO who joins a company with ~$4 stock, now delisted and pink slip trading at $0.01?) Terrible idea to have a company like this publicly traded. Starting a tech start-up within a public company again shows the lack of business acumen from Joe/the board. The board is as much to fault as the leadership in the company - they've let this whole process run its course - running up debt, multiple layoffs, drastically declining morale, and yet continue to reward c-suite handsomely.
