Small company trying to act big - Anonymous employee Spin Systems Employee Review

In 2011 literally a week before Christmas they laid off a few staffers that been there a while. That's cold. If you are looking for process and procedure - you won't find it here. They couldn't even get a process in place to get their CMMI3. Recently combined two offices into this humongous office which you could cut in half and would still be too much room. They pretty much broke the bank getting this place and laid even more people off bc of their poor judgment. It's a new age office - open plan and everyone hates it - but they won't say it. One of the funniest things is when they decided to move to falls church they said it was because most people lived on that side of Virginia - and even showed a map with everyone's location in it - clearly showing most people lived in Sterling or beyond. Like we are blind. The company is trying to act like something they aren't. Nowhere close to Silicon Valley and they're a small fish in a big pond mad likes to show off their money pit. Management has become uppity and many of the staff don't understand why the move to such a huge and expensive place for such a small company. Recruiting is a nightmare because they tell you one thing one day and then turn around the next expecting something completely different without the same amount of timeframe. They used to do company events but hardly do it anymore and when they do it doesn't have the family feel it once had.
