Vantaggi
Looking back, I really enjoyed my time at EnablePath. I had a chance to work with some pretty damn smart people. My two direct bosses were both really good. I had some tough projects, but that would go for any consulting firm. Made some good work friends who I hope to keep in touch with throughout the years.
Svantaggi
There was a flurry of negative reviews around the time I left. And then - Imagine that! - a flurry of good reviews to combat the bad ones. It seemed kinda obvious management asked the troops to leave some good reviews. I would have done the same thing though I reckon. I'm sure EnablePath expected me to leave another bad review. So I wanted to take a few months and let the dust settle. Looking back, I am not going to write a 'bad' review, because overall it was a very good experience for me. My exit was not very graceful, but a large portion (hell, all of it?) was my fault. There were some personalities I did not mesh with, but again, that's anywhere you go. Not every employee will be your best friend, which is fine, you don't need to be friends with all of your co-workers, just professional. EnablePath was very top heavy, meaning a handful of very large salaries at the top that did not generate revenue. From when I started until now, the CIO, COO, CEO, and CSO have all departed for one reason or another, with no plans to be backfilled. It doesn't take a financial engineer to assume that's over a million bucks in EBITDA a year. They had a great bonus plan, paid monthly. Then they changed it to some crazy quarterly plan with 1,000 inputs, and it's like a game of Plinko on The Price is Right. You just put your coin in the top and just kinda see where your bonus comes in at. Vacation was "OK". I saw a fair amount of career advancement potential. They do a monthly office reimbursement. I traveled a fair amount, 25%.
