Pros
Good group of young employees who make up the constituency of the company. Many don’t have experience, but really want to make an impression, and hope to use Mitratech as a platform for bigger things. They draw strength from one another, and believe, albeit too ideally, in what they are doing.
Cons
Management is under a lot of pressure to fill ranks with low salary constraints, esp. in development and sales. Which often spills over into fake reviews, and positive recommendations on various job sites, in an attempt to bring in new hires at low salaries, compared to industry norms. Someone said it before, "dont let the fake reviews fool you". The product offering is cobbled together through acquisition, not with a focus on making all the products work together through tight integration on a single platform, but instead to push cross selling of new offerings on unsuspecting customers. In the sales cycle, Mitratech is facing many new competitors in various formats, who long ago recognized the changing landscape of technology, software as a service, mobility, and accessibly. Even though Mitratech dug into a deep market niche over time, they are severely behind, and find it difficult to sell against newer competitors who are gaining traction on various fronts, with better, more economical, strategic solutions. Mitratech clearly looks like the old man in the room clinging to nostalgia in every sales cycle. Sales management is misguided. It comes across as highly misleading, with a desire "use" for self gain, with little or no empathy to the company or fellow employees. Moral is overtly low, and the company is only buoyed the young culture of the office. Many young people come for the experience, and low bar needed for entry, but move on when something better comes along. The inexperience of new employees and management provides lack of upward mobility and industry experience, making it difficult to get things done, while being effective.
