- Long term direction & c-suite leadership making right decisions
- Great early career experience working with a series of ross-functional and international teams
- Lots of exposure to both higher-level business strategy and technical concepts if you're willing to look for it
Svantaggi
- Occasional conflict between stuck-in-their-ways middle management & senior leadership that results in mixed signals for most employees.
- Mountains of tech debt
- Client retention is very high because product is very difficult to off-board. Led to large numbers of unsatisfied customers reaching out to an already struggling client services department.
- Product/Industry comes with a very high learning curve. Employees had a fairly high turnover rate. This led to problems with spending tons of time to train employees only for them to leave shortly after they became self-sufficient. Over time, employees felt less incentivized to train incoming employees and compounded the problem. Huge drain on morale.
- No formal internal training
- Continued selling products to clients that straight up did not work (political contributions search) and punting the problem to the CS team to deal with the fallout.
- No QA team
- Limited opportunities for career growth within StarCompliance
