Pros
Social group Good friends Freedom to come and go Nice CEO Caring HR Smart Research leaders
Cons
The reviews that say sinking ship or run away are what you should really pay attention to on Glassdoor. I've been here some time now and it's time to speak up. Potential new employee's deserve better. On the surface, the people are fantastic. The CEO is a genuinely nice person and HR has been consistently fantastic over the years. But what I have also witnessed over the years, is a consistent exodus of the best talent either due to them finding better opportunities or due to them pointing out the incompetence of leadership. Years back there was a genuine sense of joy in our Briefing & Brews Meetings and now it feels similar to the stereotypical bad marriage in which the parents go through the motions for the sake of the children. This is a loveless & directionless place at it's core. I believe our CEO means well, but he surrounded himself by people who pull the wool over his eyes particularly in the Sales and Product department. There's no real sales enablement and it's needed because our software is not on par with the competition and is not well designed. The Product Directors that should lead our evolution, have lost nearly the entire engineering and product team within a year and it hurts. Marketing Department is a joke and overstaffed. They should all be let go and the work outsourced. This sinking ship stays afloat for three reason, great Research leadership, we outsource much of our work to a team in India and 2 big accounts/an offering (Nestle, Google and Constellation Projects). This keep the business afloat until companies wake up and realize there's better more secure companies out there. Do not drink the Kool-Aid. Do not come here unless you are fresh out of college. GutCheck is lost. (HR don't bother responding. I may give my feedback at my exit interview when a new job offer comes in. A day that can't come soon enough.)
