Cons

Senior management is clueless, they don't know how to even use our software, yet they feel the need to constantly override the experts on usability, and design considerations. There is a culture of holding huge expensive meetings to argue over every feature and issue, wasting time just to please management & VPs, when a few of us could've got the job done in a few hours.

Senior management talks about encouraging innovation, but it's all talk - in fact you are punished for innovating, by gaining more work, and endless bugs for the rest of your life in EFI. Promotions are in the form of more responsibility and work, but no more pay.

Future development & innovation are really the lowest priority in the company, instead the priority is bug turnover and dashboards, not people or features. The company is milking the Fiery cash cow and the overlying theme is 'Just ship it!'. Pay rises are non existant, even if you perform better than your peers.

It's a shame as there is some amazing talent in this company, and when motivated and driven can produce sensational results. But all those people are stuck working on bugs, and their resumes.

Advice to Senior Management

Talk to the staff, but not in a huge meeting where no-one speaks up.
Look at who are your most valuable players, and pay them what they're worth.
Let your people do their jobs without micromanaging them.
Give everyone the tools they need to do their jobs, and stop being so tight on basics like current computer hardware.
Realize your people are your greatest resource, not just a cost to the company.

Value your employees.

Promotions with no pay increases are not a substitute for pay increases. Many of the most productive employees have either left or looking to leave.
