Vantaggi
Attracted good talent. Extremely young, technical people got exposed to many toolsets. Initially Simeio seems attractive and very cutting edge in IDaaS. Lower level staff worked very hard to help one another.
Svantaggi
Revolving door of staff. Seven people resigned my first week of work. Upper management undermines itself. My manager was a VP (since gone), great person, really worked hard to turn things around; his manager, C-level, would constantly undermine him, speak poorly about him in front of others, and come directly to me with demands, without consulting my manager first. His jealousy would have been pathetic if he weren’t in such a position of power. Every good person I knew (during and after my employment) left specifically because of this C-level person and his ego. Despite the fact that Simeio is headquartered in Atlanta, they try to take every single job they possibly can over to India, including the head of HR! When I announced I was leaving, my job also went to India, despite most of the people I supervised being in North America. This is due to being financed by a firm out of NYC that has very high demands on profitability. If you are non-Indian, you will soon realize what a disadvantage it is; if you are Indian, whether in US, India, or elsewhere, you will be taken advantage of. If you are a sycophant, this is a great place for you, as upper management truly wants people to suck up to them. Finance and Sales were run much more cleanly though. It goes without saying that the hours were horrendous.
