Svantaggi
Jive was great! It was bought out by LogMeIn and everything was a step down: benefits, culture and job security. We used to have lavish parties with raffles and gifts. Our Christmas party with LMI was eating hot dogs at the skating rink. They let go 3% of the company worldwide to look good for the shareholders before Q1. There is no upward mobility - only lateral movement. The middle management that I've worked with (with one exception) got highly defensive with opposing opinions and was retaliatory afterwards. I saw petty bullying and blatant exclusion of team members. Obviously, there is a lot of distrust. There are people with no formal education in management roles who got the job through inside contacts (this isn't always a bad thing), but the mandate was basically to work hard and not smart which is very counter productive. The pay was below average and the raises were meager. There are a lot of unhappy people trying to get by and are scared of the company. People work here to get experience and then move up to a better company to get paid what they are worth - like a community college.
