The Downfall Continues

Pros

Industry leading software, mission critical part of the supply chain. Sales team has some strong leaders/individual contributors.

Cons

Ever since AKKR took over and brought in the new CEO, the culture has taken an extreme nosedive into the depths of a disengaged and devalued work force. Most, if not all, high level roles have been filled by the friends of the CEO. Many long-time, dedicated employees have been forced out due to restructuring or due to the toxic work environment. Leaders are selfish and do not care about the company culture or employee development, despite talking a big game about this "initiative." The people team is known as the "anti-people team," a running joke around the entire org, because the HR leader is cutthroat and is not there to help people. Their role is merely to ensure that the CEO gets what he wants, even if that means being sued. Wages are very low compared to the market and merit raises are insignificant, if anything.

Pros

great company, competitive pay, great people

Cons

horrible BDR management, gives you less than 60 days in the job to prove yourself. They will fire you quick if you don't do well quick. (it's hard to do well) lots of cold calling.

Loftware prides itself on offering a comfortable and friendly working environment throughout our entire organization. We put our employees first and offer extensive training opportunities in all areas of our business. Loftware regularly hires recent graduates, dedicates time to educating those employees and in many cases have seen those same individuals advance within our organization.

Pros

Talented and passionate team members. Opportunity to work with enterprise customers and on a solid product. Flexible working hours and decent work from home policy. Competitive compensation package.

Cons

Toxic company culture: Over the past few years, Loftware has transitioned from a people focused company to a rigid, profit obsessed enterprise. Decisions are top down, non-transparent, and often feel disrespectful to long term employees. Mismanagement of change: The merging of multiple products and teams has been chaotic. Instead of innovation, it feels like Frankenstein’s monster piecemeal integration without a clear vision. Micromanagement and role dilution: Formerly dynamic roles were reduced to monotonous administrative tasks (approving time off, processing invoices, HR busywork). Skills go underutilized while motivation dwindles. Poor communication and trust: Important decisions (like reporting lines or contract changes) are made without informing those affected. Leadership avoids hard conversations and suppresses dissent rather than engaging with feedback. Punitive leadership style: Employees live under fear of being demoted, fired, or legally threatened for simply moving on. “Healthy tension” has turned into toxic conflict, and “volunteering” often means being forced into tasks without compensation. Rigid, slow moving bureaucracy: Simple tasks that used to take hours now take weeks or months. HR exerts disproportionate influence, often in counterproductive ways. Deteriorating morale: Pulse checks and morale initiatives are symbolic. Action items are diluted, ignored, or turned into bureaucratic exercises. Local issues are consistently deprioritized.
