Open door policy
Centralized office

Cons

Complex domain and product
Engineer driven

Pros

Fairly laid back corporate culture...until it comes to cost savings and lay offs.

Cons

Company has lost its direction. Management has changed several times over the last few years. Product management doesn't seem to know what direction to take the product in so they do nothing. Losing competitiveness quickly. Many missed opportunities to excel. Sometimes feels like the bureaucracy of a large company even though it is very small?

Advice to Senior Management

Set a company direction and stick with it.

Pros

- nice individual contributors
- Free snacks from vending machine
- table tennis table in break room
- table tennis tournaments

Cons

High turn over rate due to constant changing management. Dictatorship in engineering after CEO Pat left.
The management team changes for CEO, president, VP engineering every year or every other year.
There is no peer review or survey when promoting managers from within. It ends up that good engineers leaving. There is no explanation when someone is let go. People are in the dark and have no idea what happened. There is no exit interview when people resigned.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to the engineers who resigned and ask why they left. Have a good planning and schedule to deliver a better quality product.

Pros

LogLogic is actually a company with great technology, strategy and vision. It essentially created the log management market when others are still thinking about it. It made the right decision to focus on selling to the C-level people as well as compliance (where the $$ was and still is in many cases.)

Cons

LogLogic is somewhat short on execution due to various reasons. Part of it is that it requires much stronger engineering leadership.

Advice to Senior Management

Again, as mentioned above, LogLogic requires much stronger engineering leadership and execution in order to succeed in this market. It's getting some very strong competitors in this market but it still has a very good chance.

Pros

- Leading market position, although seems to be eroding
- Not too many strong competitors
- still has a very good chance of success

Cons

Management changes are too frequent. As a result, direction and culture have been continuously changing. Engineering leadership is currently weak.

Advice to Senior Management

Need to focus on engineering and technology not only on operations and sales.
Probably need to hire a CTO to focus on technology direction
