Shame about the owners

Pros

Lots of opportunity to learn; organisation favours young, talented, hungry employees. Privately owned, profitable company, invest in research and development, passionate about what they do.

Cons

20 year old company with origins in consulting and custom software development that aspires to be a saas/cloud software company. A constant tendency to over intellectualise and over analyse their business. Convoluted vision, poorly set out strategy (and lack of), shoddy execution. Cheap. Co-founders still on the helm, refusing to delegate and in what appears to be significant disagreement among themselves as to the direction of the company. There lies the biggest problem. One founder runs sales and marketing, the other is the CEO. One says black, the other says white and the employees are stuck in the middle. A constant battle which has prevented the company from growing and which puts it in a perpetual chase. They have tried to reinvent themselves several times (used to be called core solutions) and have hired talented people in the past, but they tend to loose them or they become numb and indifferent. Their technology whilst promising in direction, lacks in delivery. Build quality issues, huge backlog of feature requests and bugs that clients have been asking for ages. An account management nightmare. People wise its a completely flat structure. Emperor like CEO which overrides and undermines the executive team at a blink of an eye. Under resourced, under trained and badly equipped employees with a distinct lack of empathy by management (the very little in place).

Pros

Customers - CBX is lucky to have decent customers who provides constant positive feedback and want to work with very buggy platform.

Cons

- Managers are either not qualified or trained to manage teams. - Snarky comments and shouting at team is a constant phenomena and you can experience that in any random internal meetings. - No documentation or proper training but you can't ask question about functioning of product else you will be disrespected in meeting where no-one would help you. - Engineering team is offshore and can't speak English -project manager is not given any control of resources but they need to be answerable if releases are delayed or not of good quality. - HR will never ever reply to your questions related to policy or benefits. Sending an email to HR is like sending it to a black hole. Nothing ever come back. Which company has HR who can't even send simple reply to employee?
