Vantaggi

Clean software architecture Planned new product seems to fill a niche with market demand

Svantaggi

Essentially no software project management - critical customer delivery missed by months Essentially no social work environment - each programmer is a silo. People don't even go out to lunch together. Hierarchical technical management - management does not allow programmers to have a mind of their own or work as a team One manager insults employees for making understandable mistakes. Not cool.

Thank you for your review. We realize that during the company transition there were some hurdles to overcome. We have taken your feedback and made some significant changes. We have brought in an experienced product/project manager, scrum master, and marketing manager. We have replaced the software architect that introduced a lot of the challenges mentioned here. We have daily stand-ups that are an open forum for the development team to introduce new ideas and work together to tackle an issue. We have implemented many of these ideas into the products already. We are truly an agile team. We have a completely open-door policy. Every single person in our company all the way up to the CEO is on Slack and just a message or phone call away. In short we believe we have made the personnel changes needed to remove the negativity and silo-effect from the team. Our company culture is much stronger now, I can promise you that.

Vantaggi

Great company. Very rewarding to work for a company that delivers a product that addresses a real-life customer data management challenge. Industry has needed something like this for years. Really enjoy working with my colleagues and management - true professionals and knowledge experts in their field with a passion for delivering value to the customer and helping them to find a solution to their challenges. Start-up mentality where people work well together as a team, as well as individually to contribute to the growth of the company and each other.

Svantaggi

Has typical challenges that you would expect with a company that is growing this quickly.

Vantaggi

Work remotely. Provides a work/life balance. Benefits were good.

Svantaggi

Newer management lacks necessary skills to motivate employees. stuck in old ways of doing things. Tries to lead by fear. No real room for advancement. CEO states employees can talk to him anytime, but when you try, you're told not to (by others within the company). So I would have to say chalk that up to lack of open communication. The top management does not give the impression it cares about it's employees or their needs. They would rather just use a dead way of creating leads and not focusing on what's going on in today's world and all the social media we have available to market ourselves. Creating a "call center" type of environment isn't effective, especially when we all work remotely.

Your role was sales, and I'm sorry you had a hard time getting traction. There is plenty of room for advancement as others have done, but part getting ahead in this sales role was to generate leads and new business. You were given lots more resources and repeated training. Sorry it didn't work out for you and that the results where not what either of us wanted.
