Layoffs layoffs layoffs!

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Some nice and smart people. Flexible work schedule and competetive pay

Cons

Too many layoffs in marketing. Layoffs keep happening every year and people are getting laid off without notice, so if you want a job security, this company is not for you!

Terrible Company / Executives

Pros

No pros left, company hit its peak in 2011 and it’s been declining ever since.

Cons

If job security is a priority for you, don’t bother even looking at this company. It’s spiraling downhill (and has been for the past 7 years). The executives are not bright people who can’t see that the end is near. They invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in consultants regularly to help them decided what areas should be cut which leads to large layoffs over and over. Vic Lund (current acting CEO), doesn’t care about the employees and would much rather lay them off then to take other cost saving measures. The company’s products are far behind the competitors given all of management thought cloud computing was a fad and people would come back to their hardware offerings, but the cloud stuck around and it’s crushing them since they can’t catch up.

Hey there. Despite recent (real and perceived) challenges, we've expected no impact on our day-to-day operations or service. We're working on identifying a new CEO to accelerate the execution of our transformation, in order to achieve our vision and growth strategy. Both of which haven't changed. Our strategy is solid and our customers support it. Given the pace of technology, we must consistently evolve and will continue to do so. We appreciate your thoughts.

Pros

Nice campus, co-workers are approachable, some very smart long-time employees. Benefits were good. The quarterly keggers were fun.

Cons

The middle managers I had were terrible. The first was technically competent but had no people skills. The second spewed buzzwords without apparently knowing much about the technologies behind them. The company doesn't seem to have a clue as to how to make best use of human capital. I wouldn't plan on a long-term investment in their stock. Pay seems below industry standards.
