Advice to Senior Management

Made all the right security acquisitions, but was not committed to becoming a security company.

Pros

This was a great place to work. Awesome work environment, it was made to look like the old house. Free beer in the "park" at least once a month. Awesome parties, excellent culture.

Cons

Not enought salary, upward mobility was limited. But all cons were totally wiped out by all the plusses of the company.

Advice to Senior Management

Just keep doing what you are doing. Don't let the acquisition take it out of you. If they do find new company to start.

Pros

There is a great atmosphere within the Company that makes it compelling to perform at a high level at all times. Interpersonal relations are excellent and there is a great deal of freedom given to each employee to make their own decisions

Cons

At times, there is a lacking of informations as to where the Company is going.

Advice to Senior Management

Invest heavily in Product Development to resume and secure the leader position it had before.

Pros

Great work environment. Friendly, professional people. Great work/life balance.

Cons

Benefits sagged over the last few years. Upper management cares more about the bottom line than their employees. Offshoring is more than just a trend with them - it's a mainstay. Beware.

Advice to Senior Management

Offshoring isn't always the best solution.

Pros

Work culture is laid back and easy going. It's easy to find "genuine good people" here that are very successful Most people maintain a decent work / life balance. Managers are intelligent and lobby hard for their employees.

Cons

Company morale is at a low with constant talks of the next layoff. Internal processes are tedious and time consuming. The company has different silos with each interested in protecting only their best interest and not what's best for the company. Little communication on performance and how employees are faring.

Advice to Senior Management

With the economy down turn, Senior Management does not seem to have a new direction set in place on how to ride through the tough times except to do business as usual. There are no new strategies to alleviate customer budget cuts and low sales. Fix the broken products.
