Good experience - Recensione dipendente - Software Developer presso Mattersight

Good work opportunities for growth.

Management has no idea what they're doing

- Work life balance is manageable. It is not uncommon to see folks work under 40 hours a week - Each team has solid culture, due to smart, hardworking individuals from prestigious universities - Convenient location in downtown Chicago - With continuous employee turnover, job opportunities are available for personal growth and development

- Senior management and above appear to be more concerned with their bonuses rather than investments in the future of the company - The organization seems to be sinking under the weight of financial struggles with no relief around the corner - Management appears to have no appreciation for employees due to sub par market-rate compensation and practically no benefits (lack of 401k matching, depressing lunchroom 'snacks') - Inefficient processes disrupt productivity and plague every step along the way, from planning, design and development to product management, testing and implementation - Lack of company wide culture due to persistent state of paralysis from employees being stretched so thin - Little to no communication across departments leads to scenarios where sales teams up-sell and promise much more than the folks below can chew and churn out - Deteriorating employee engagement; not aided by certain senior managers whose day-to-day responsibilities maintain an illusion of business impact and significance, albeit with no real results
