Great start-up to work in - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Ulticom

Ulticom allows each employee to develop their career as they want. I was able to learn new skill sets and apply them to my position. There was also a lot of flexibility. You could run out to do an errand when you wanted as long as you got your work done nobody bothered you.

Typically the delivery schedules are very tight causing some stress trying to make sure software is robust within the short timeframe. The worst part was getting acquired by a Mavenir and having our positions transferred to their staff in India.

At the working level there is fabulous teamwork, collaboration and support. The benefits are good. The first level managers care about the working level.

The company mission and vision change every year. The purpose of the business is not enduring. The senior management team does not invest in the people or the company. Revenue has fallen by 15% per year for the last four years and the Pres/CEO has not been held accountable for the deterioration of the company yet the BOD continues to reward him with outrageous bonuses and incentives while salaries for everyone else are frozen at 2007 levels. The profits went to the BOD and COMVERSE rather than being reinvested in the future of the company. This management team would not know innovation if it hit them square between the eyes. Education and training were eliminated when revenue began to drop. The senior management team's management practice is micromanagement. They do not trust people so they direct their actions rather than delegating and empowering them. Consequently people are afraid to take initiative for fear they will be told their choice was wrong. Failure and unwanted results are punished. The Pres/CEO bullies his immediate reports into doing as he wants rather than relying on them to provide guidance and counsel.
