i2 Technologies Reviews in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX Area

Advice to Senior Management

company already sold to JDA
so this is not relevant anymore

better organization should help the company grow and win more customers

Pros

This was once an amazing place to work but the company fell on hard times and made poor decisions, never really recovering from the dot.com bust.

Cons

The primary downside of working for i2 is uncertainty for the future of the company and of whatever project you might be working on.

Advice to Senior Management

At this point I really wouldn't know where to start. I think the company no longer has a soul. The people managing the company at this time probably look at i2 more as a financial entity then as a company. The current strategy seems to be "keep the cash pile safe for the hedge fund and don't make waves".

Pros

The real reward of the work here is that you made a difference in the fortunes of your customers - literally.

Cons

Mgmt is clueless on how to use the talent that exists within the workforce

Advice to Senior Management

The company has an incredible group of employees. The company strategy has been "Drift along until ..." but going back to the basics 'Take Care of the Customers" that Ken Sharma pushed would help drive some blood through this zombie of an organization.

Pros

Used to be a fabulous place with smart people; i2 has good set of products which are still pretty valuable for the clients.

Cons

Over time, i2 market share has deteriorated quite a bit. That has led to limited growth prospects and effectively most good people have left the firm.

Advice to Senior Management

Try to get a good M & A deal through, so the acquiring company can fund the necessary R & D, new talent, and customer reach.

Pros

This was a company full of smart people, good products that somehow seemed to lose its way. Peers were generally competent and helpful. Considerable flexibility in the way you did your work. Some groups were well run and if you happened to be in one of them, you'd be happy.

Cons

Lack of consistent policies and some very blatant favoritism in promotions. Managers changed frequently and were a hit and miss. Salaries were typically at the low end of market. Some very incompetent managers - people with no leadership skills but who still rose up due to their "connections".

Advice to Senior Management

Senior management really needs to learn the ability to identify the solid contributors from the rest, particularly at the director level and higher.
