Former Employee – worked at LogLogic

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.

Former Employee – worked at LogLogic

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

Current Employee – been working at LogLogic

Pros – right startup at the right place and time

Cons – Aggressive startup; going too fast to stop and smell the roses.

Advice to Senior Management – focus on the long term

Former Employee – worked at LogLogic full-time

Pros – If you know how to work the agile system and/or know how to please management, it's not really a whole lot of pressure. The key is to sell yourself as much as possible and make it at least seem like you're accomplishing a lot. Since the agile demo system is all about showing off, the more you do that the better off you'll be.

Cons – If you really care about creating something, then you're not in the right place. Because the agile system forces you to demo something every 2 weeks or so, you can never really accomplish anything complex unless you do it piecemeal. Think about building a space shuttle from scratch, but having to demo something every 2 weeks so that the management thinks you're doing something.

Advice to Senior Management – None

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

Former Employee – worked at LogLogic full-time

Pros – Small group of good employees left - mostly in engineering, couple in finance. Hopefully new owners will be able to retain, and figure out who is worth retaining, some of the employees and let go entire executive team.

Cons – Poor leadership - lack of basic leadership skills - lack of integrity. (FYI - The VP of Marketing saw the poor comments about LogLogic on glassdoor.com - told all his employees to go on the site and give positive reviews to help increase LogLogics ratings on the site.) This organization was the most unhealthy I've ever seen. Too many politics, lack of clarity, very low morale, low productivity, high turnover. Lack of a clear strategy and basic marketing.

Advice to Senior Management – Please learn some basic leadership skills. Unfortunately integrity can't be learned, it's just where your value system is, or isn't.
