Avantages
Friendly co-workers (at least there were until the layoffs started) Motivated off shore team (in China) Free sodas in the Corporate HQ (but no where else)
Inconvénients
Was once a decent place to work but now they have lost their way. For example, no budget or roadmaps for 2018 until March !?!? Lack of leadership from the top down is painfully obvious to the team who would do anything they were asked to do. The new administration doesn’t know what to do in order to make the targets and they have set arbitrary goals for the teams (which the team have already said can’t me met). New CEO (Scott Flanders replaced Gary over a year ago) was hired to help ‘transition’ the company but has no idea where they want to go or what they want to do. Scott is an expert in parting out companies (his track record with Playboy and other companies speaks for itself) unfortunately due to the current Presidential Administration, no one wants to buy a company which sell insurance right now. Scott did hire a new CFO Dave Francis, (and now COO also) who has never been a CFO or member of a Finance team for a real company (All of his experience is in being a Wall street Analysts so you can guess why he was hired). His limited experience has caused problems in understanding what it takes to get the job done – for example, the CFO could not understand why the Engineering team wasn’t motivated to work startup hours – when we pointed out that none of the team has stock, he suggested that we “hire more people on H1s, so you don’t have to worry about work live balance.”
