A thriving organization that treats its employees well, but at the same time, it's a very technical, very unorganized, and very disjointed tech company

Pros

Great Benefits:

  • Health Insurance premiums are fully paid by the company for the employee and their family.

Great Pay:

  • Competitive Salary and twice a year performance-based Raises, Bonuses, and Stock.
Cons

A large company that often operates much like a small start-up.

Many small teams are unaware of what is happening in other small teams.

Things are not usually well-defined. You must go around and get buy-in from multiple sources.

Often, ownership is not very clear.

Advice to Management

The matrixed organization has its benefits, but I see many hours wasted daily because folks do not know the right person to get commitment, help, or info from.

Many long-time employees do know where to go, but I believe clearly documenting ownership (across products and deliverables) would be very beneficial to the overall organization.
