Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Axway full-time for less than a year

Pros – None, very poorly constructed organization.

Cons – Company that is behind the times. Products do not integrate at all, extremely low morale and unsatisfied customers. No strategic direction. Sr. Management takes an approach of threatening employees to motivate them. Inability to communicate to the fields, sales teams do not receive compensation packages within a reasonable time period.

Advice to Senior Management – Sr. Management needs to be removed and company needs to be gutted of its current culture

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Axway full-time

Pros – Great people. Good collaboration at lower levels of organization.

Cons – CEO and VP's are barely visible. No communication until quarterly meeting and even then it's rote information. Not many opportunities for career advancement.

Advice to Senior Management – Be visible. Create a culture that rewards new ideas and critical thinking. Listen to mid-level managers, not just execs. You're a software company, not the CIA.

Former Employee – worked at Axway

Pros – The problem domain is interesting and the customer base is vast. Constant challenges on all fronts, and the U.S. office is still small enough that you get to know everyone.

Cons – Management doesn't know how to deal with runaway growth or foreign (e.g. American) employees. The amazing technical minds that were acquired during the Cyclone Commerce merger have all fled to greener pastures because the work was no longer interesting. Codebase is a nightmare, support bends to the will of customers in all matters, sales has given up entirely on reasonable promises during pitches, and H.R. Is too small and inexperienced to hold it all together.

Advice to Senior Management – Consolidate, focus on employees, learn how to satisfy customers without giving lying or giving them the moon. You're bleeding employees like crazy while retaining the dull and lazy.

Current Employee – been working at Axway

Pros – European company that ostensibly cares for their employees, Axway is committed to becoming a major player in the global market.

Cons – Coming from a consultant background, the company is struggling to be taken seriously as an Independent Software Vendor. With more than a third of revenues coming from professional services, it is held back by it's DNA.

Advice to Senior Management – Back to basics doesn't mean back to the things that used to work for you, the world has changed and you need to change with it. Embrace a software company persona and leave the PS behind.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop being so stingy (Try to be different than the mass french people)

Current Employee – been working at Axway full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – A number of groups within Axway have long term employees that are knowledgeable and work well with other teams. The key products are all mature and somewhat stable providing a stable customer base.

Cons – Probably the worst company I have ever worked for regarding internal communications. Very little sharing of strategy and vision other than a once a year event in January. Development of people is a low priority within Axway.

Advice to Senior Management – Improve the quality and quantity of internal information sharing. This could be done weekly through cascading information through the management chain out to all employees. Monthly meetings with various senior management giving updates on what groups are doing, and changes to tactics/strategy. Publish an org chart and let people know when new employees join and others leave.
