CSG Systems International Employee Review

Former Employee – worked at CSG Systems International

Pros – The CSG culture has historically been one that promoted entrepreneurially behavior in its employees. It was an environment where employees could ask questions, challenge new inititatives and feel as though their voice was heard. The company's growth through acquisition strategy has provided great opportunities for the midwestern organization to learn about integration of corporate cultures.

Cons – CSG has attempted to broaden its product/service lines to decrease the pressure of having the majority of its revenue tied to a handful of clients. Unfortunately, the in-house 'blame game' is alive and well at CSG, from sales, to development, to product management. Executive management is busy 'counting beans' rather than leading and holding those responsible, accountable.
Within the past 5 years there has been a significant shift in the culture that is a double standard. Management asks/requires employees to share their ideas and expand their skills (stretch goals) but do not provide the necessary support to help them achieve the goals and then wonders why employees are disenchanted and not motivated.

Advice to Senior Management – Spend some time to personally understanding what mid-level managers and employees think of the most recent initiatives.
