increase salaries of new hires to match competition

Great culture, great colleagues, and great work environment

Cons

No major advancement for salaries

Pros

Good starting job after college.

Everyone is young so in order for you to move up they have to move out.

Not a lot of potential for advancement. Once you reach a certain level there is really nowhere else to go.

Communicate more clearly with employees. We often did not have a clear understanding of how and why major decisions were made.

Scott Ganeles as a leader has great enthusiasm and vision for the company.
Technology is heavily leveraged

Sales force has veteran players

Cons

Scott Ganeles's enthusiasm and vision isn't transferred well down thru management.
Workforce in the customer service teams are too thin.
No room for advancement for people in the middle/upper tier of the company.

Advice to Senior Management

Upper management - listen to your middle managers - they are closer to the workforce.
Create more vertical and horizontal opportunities for career growth, otherwise top talent will leave.

very good in terms of technologies and have some of the best technical developers.

Cons

1. blame culture is everywhere
2. be aggresive is the only way to protect youself
3. no career development oppotunities at all.

Advice to Senior Management

1. Stops keeping palying with titles but really try to make the company structure more logical.
2. Apart from saving more for the board member, rewarding the employees may not always be a bad idea

Pros

In the begining you learn a lot abou markets, excel skills etc. You also get a good understanding of market stucture, the structure of the street etc. You get a lot of experience talking to CFO, IROs and occasionally a CEO. You can at times be given a lot of responsibility early on and a chance to prove youself. It can at times be a fun place to work.

Cons

Eventually you stop growing and you feel the need to leave.

Advice to Senior Management

In general, very supportive, but the hours are long and the pay not great, so you need to understand how employees feel about that.

Work with the latest and greatest in Tech

Cons

Stressful environment, expected to work 12 hour days. No training avaliable.

Advice to Senior Management

Give credit were credit is due.

Pros

Good atmosphere between team members, reasonable amount of flexibility at work, pay is decent. Some interesting technology in use here.

Cons

Very political, some of the management will go back on their word, training is rarely approved. Some senior management don't understand what whole sections of the company do. Very few opportunities for career progression.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more honest with your employees, don't always look to blame rather than praise. Reward employees that contribute positively to the company.

Pros

Some of the people are great and fun to work with.
Opportunities to exposure in many different product lines

Cons

Have to work hard and focus on politics to get anywhere.

Advice to Senior Management

Spend more on R&D and create a better environment for inovation.
