Vantaggi
Unbelievably the people who haven't quit or been fired are still very collaborative and positive.
Svantaggi
Anthology greatly suffers from a fleet of VPs and executives that only care about one thing, cutting costs by any means possible. This has been shown countless times with the treatment of employees, lack of concern or care for existing customers, and archaic products that are consistently broken or significantly outdated. Ask ANY of Anthology's customers if their basic needs have been met since this acquisition. Feel free to also ask employees about our "benefits", "raises", or doing more work with less and less resources. Anthology likes to claim how "diverse and inclusive" we are as they fire local employees in Boca, Buffalo and Kansas City offices and completely replace them with global people at a lower salary. This has been done with multiple engineering teams and there are rumors that it will also impact front end development and customer support teams. Anthology is a top down organization where the rest of us can't even begin to guess how senior management's decisions can still negatively impact us anymore than they already have. Ask anyone about their 401(k). Be sure to ask a consultant about their billable hours and how their vacation time counts against that. Talk to the employees that had specialists in network for years, and today have to drive hours to be seen by one who now is. It really is sad to see how little care this company has for it's people. For example, the 1.4% merit "increase" everyone got in January. Incredibly talented people have left the organization with no change in Anthology's course whatsoever. In fact, just wait until we all go back to the offices and are surprised by all of the empty seats because no one in leadership recognizes anyone who leaves. I suppose it can be an office game where we guess if our former office colleagues were: Fired? Quit? or still WFH? I honestly do not know how this company could appeal to any organization in higher education.
