Cons
Too many to list. Core issue is an utter lack of communicated and connected leadership at almost every level of management. Company is fixated and stagnating on the same revenue model that it used in 2012/2013 and refuses to invest in the core business model which is viable, but mostly ignored by the business. Touted as a multi-million dollar company but it is not profitable by far and has been unable to either provide products that attract more customers nor innovate in an effective way. Internal disparity and conflict inside the business is rampant with a cold war being waged between Executive leadership, Sales, and Advertising Operations on one side and the customer facing aspects of Account Management, Engineering, and Content Management on the other. Instead of repeating what is known to work in Software as a Service models, this company has been sold a bill of goods about innovation that Engineering can't support due to a lack of effective and technical leadership in Engineering. Company also ignores about 130 years of Industrial Revolution research and psychology and expects 50+ hour work weeks, open and distracting floor plans, constant on-call availability, Waterfall "git er done!" software engineering, and a lack of product focus that makes a crack using ferret look calm. This despite numerous sources of information about how to effectively manage people. Engineering-wise the east coast team seems to work on all revenue generating products while the west coast team does work that doesn't generate any revenue, but costs the company money and resources. Not sure what they do. Account Management is expected to run reporting, technical support, and maintain sales/partner relationships while a marginalized and understaffed Engineering group cranks out non-viable products that don't meet customer needs because AdOps and Sales are constantly throwing customer product spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks. Company has seemingly lost a sizable percentage of staff and leadership over the last year as evidenced by a LinkedIn search for NDN/Inform so that is a con as well since you never know who you will be working for. CEO and subordinates will regularly go radio silent or mic drop major information in dysfunctional all hands meetings. He seems to follow the Forbe's list of Seven Habits of Spectacularly Unsuccessful Executives amazingly especially habits #4-7. CEO will frequently shutdown any commentary and blacklist people who don't do what he wants while trying to emulate Yahoo (aren't they failing miserably?) and Flipboard(hello 2000s we want your app!) The culture is frantic and scattered most of the time with the only real cultural leader having just left the company in Jan of 2016. Do not expect any elevation of your career path or other personal attributes once you are on board as they do not believe in personnel investment as I was there for 3 years with nary a single training, conference, or other compensation other than some online training that the aforementioned cultural leader obtained for a us (a group that wasn't even his to manage) Vision and Long-term planning is not on the menu which of course breeds a lot of fire-fighting. Not sure what the vision or overall plan is for the company other than panic which certainly creates a lot of trust. You will read this and convince yourself that this is all an inflated story from a former disgruntled employee and in a sense you would be right. They will tell you that it is all part of change of leadership and part of some mystical growth process. The company looks good on the surface. Don't believe it. Confirm anything you see in the reviews by asking them the hard questions and if their answers leave you with a glimmer of doubt, then run for the hills.
