Happy Employee - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Wimba

Friendly environment, great colleagues, interesting industry

I do not have much to say about cons

The craziness at Wimba is certainly entertaining. You can't believe that management thinks the decisions they are making are actually good, and it's fun to watch them try to execute ridiculous plans. Many of the people who work here are really nice, but morale is down because they keep laying people off. It's really too bad - the focus on teaching and learning is worthwhile to be involved in, and it's a popular company within the industry. Wimba has great relationships with other partners in the space. The office location is great - Bryant Park for lunch every day in the summer!

You don't get credit for good ideas or good work. Often, it takes management 6 months to come to the same conclusion you just did, but by then it's their idea, even though you could have saved them tons of money if they had listened in the first place. They have laid off about 30% of the company in the space of 3 months and cut salaries by ten percent. When advice is given to management that people aren't going to like that and that all of the really good people are going to find other jobs, the response has been 'where are they going to go?' like we can't get better jobs. We can.
