Really awful place

Licensing manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

my immediate manager is pleasant enough.

Cons

leadership within the sales management team is nonexistent and employees are regarded as little more than robots. there seems to be little room for advancement across the company. while i knew that the compensation wasn't ideal, it's even worse than I had been led to believe - despite hitting targets.

Great, if you're in a Mgmt position

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good support for people at the top who already have a staff underneath them

Cons

Lower level employees who leave are not being replaced, and entry-level jobs are slowly being absorbed into more senior level positions - twice the work with none of the perks of a better title.

Clueless management, truly awful communication

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice offices, (generally) friendly colleagues, interesting products

Cons

Very political, which means that obstructive / incompetent staff on friendly terms with the upper ranks is kept on while efficient, motivated staff are being let go to make the budget look better. No evident strategy, truly TRULY awful communication where essential information needs to be gleaned from snippets picked up somewhere in the hallways.
