The company has smart people, but needs strong management and a cohesive strategy
- Smart people, relaxed work environment, decent compensation, good benefits
- Decent opportunities for growth
- Interesting projects
- Short-sighted strategy at the management level. It seems management wants to show short-term gains, get their bonuses, and move on. Ambitious projects with little vision are started and killed later or shipped half-baked (and the plug is soon pulled).
- NIH syndrome and reluctance to adopt industry standards.
- SteveB is CEO.
Get rid of SteveB.
Focused strategy.
