Svantaggi
2016 was a terrible year. The entire culture and trust level changed among the entire office. The company was purchased by a Chinese company - owners have own purposes and want huge profit margins (want them to match their gaming companies margins in China); not the same industry or business. Past President totally about self-preservation for him and his friends; knee-jerk reactions, never enough attitude and negative style (even though told the best sales in 10 years according to him). Constant changes - quiet lay offs here and there all year; job descriptions constantly changing; people bailing ship left and right. Do not believe fake positive reviews (look at entire year and dates); this was not confined to one department only -- HR added these after the overall rating dropped. Marketing lost people and had people leave, Developers were laid off and jobs outsourced to India, Tech support was understaffed and lost people; inside Sales team was laid off (and very poor commission structures) - people were leaving in many departments or being let go ... the joke was ... " don't tell me you are leaving too"). Job descriptions constantly changing, pressure constantly on ... HR (people and culture) didn't care or couldn't do anything. The top exec was nice but distanced from the employees; a higher up colleague was not good at her job (did not care about employees or did not talk respectfully to or about employees; unprofessional for HR). Management was terrible - a few good people; but too many that were in bed with each other (not literally); history and buddy system for sure. Lots of self-preservation, escalated numbers; scrambling and ever changing expectations, constant pressure and negative styles ... and what's in it for me and how can we take advantage of people (get more for less). Pressure on software teams and other departments - lost all focus on quality, service and clients. Overall, poor management in general (starting at the top). Recently, hired new CEO and the President is gone - but I would not go to work here! Too unstable, too many changes still happening, owner and management are numbers driven not customer, product driven) ... so the wonderful culture that used to be Promethean is a thing of the past. Changes are not going in the direction I'd like.... there is no way customer service will not go down due to changes in purchasing, changes in production, changes in fees for software, service, closing our warehouse and going through vendors, etc. They are also moving corporate office to another state. Do your research!
