Pros

Flexible schedules Unlimited PTO Good people to work with

Cons

Look at the dates on the positive reviews. Many don't come past 2019. The past 3 years have made landmark shift in a once great company: Management doesn't really understand the product Power struggles and bad politics at the mid and upper management level Poorly defined and constantly changing direction Falling behind on the competitive field No real diversity at the company, they have tried but for some reason it's still very pale. No clearly defined career path The company used to be great. Something happened in management that created a power grab/struggle environment so all of the rest of the employees became pawns in weird games of who can hold more sway over the direction of the company. This caused the company to lose its focus. Eventually the concept of leadership disintegrated. There is know one to look to for an answer except yourself, and you better hope that answer doesn't upset someone. Some element of the company never allowed teams to grow in accordance with the demands of the products. People ended up overworked, and silenced when they were just trying to offer solutions. Salary fell behind pretty rapidly over the past two years also, and excuses were made, but no compensation offered. Bonus were once commonplace, but political wording and game playing made them far less frequent and harder to achieve.

Pros

Wowza has a strong industry reputation. Product works well and not cold calling. The company also has had some very good offering in recent months. The team members are good and leadership is fair to work with and recent innovation has been good. Everyone is very nice and supportive. On recent timing wowza has become very focused on customer and customers support and success is one of the best.

Cons

They have old systems. There is very little training and sometimes you have to rely on others to get work. The benefits are not up to standards.

Pros

Strong leadership team with a clear vision for the future of the business. The company is evolving in meaningful ways, with renewed focus on innovation, customer outcomes, and operational excellence. Teams are collaborative, highly committed, and willing to work cross-functionally to solve complex challenges. There is strong visibility to executive leadership and meaningful opportunity to influence strategy and drive impact.

Cons

Like many companies navigating transformation, priorities can shift quickly and teams are often asked to move at a fast pace. Change management and internal communication can continue to improve as the organization scales and evolves.
