Avoid Working Here At All Costs

Pros

The individual contributors are smart, hard working technical specialists who just get on with their work under very difficult circumstances. Invariable helpful and willing.

Cons

Not so much a company as a lifestyle business for two or three individual senior managers who appear to keep the culture this way to remain employed by the board since they would not be accepted as employees in other companies. Culture of blame, bullying, unclear expectation setting and absolutely no communication between managers. The product development begins with an idea from the CEO and is never communicated to the team asked to sell/deliver it so the strategy and services are poorly understood or described. The technology has potential but this is systematically killed off by the inability of the management team to set direction and communicate strategy. Just look at the attrition rate of smart/proven professionals who have left this organisation.

It was once a nice place to work

Pros

Small company with some great people - there is a lot of talent in the place with lots of dynamic self motivated individuals but the wrong people are increasingly getting to run the place, causing the good ones to give up and leave...

Cons

The staff are stifled by the management who want to control absolutely everything about the place. Some senior management have difficult and overbearing personalities which puts a lot of people off - thus the high turnover of staff.
