- For a small company there are deep politics and many fiefdoms - Management is aimlessly wandering the desert and jumps at any thought/question/suggestion from a customer as a stone tablet handed down from God directly. - Upper management pays lots of lip service to being "agile" and "constant improvement", but only so far as it involves maintaining the status quo and not actually changing anything - The company is run by gut instincts and off-the-cuff decisions. This can be good when moderated, but at ValueCentric it is seen as bad to actually gather customer input, create prototypes, do A/B testing, etc. - Not a software company -- it has the trappings and technology of a software company, but is run like a service company. Thus the technology stack, infrastructure, and approach to business suffer. - Combined vacation & sick days into a single small pool (10 days first year, +3 second year, +1 day/year after that) means that nobody ever takes a sick day, thus viruses run rampant.
