Accounting Manager but not really - Anonymous employee Diamond Systems Employee Review

I have worked for Diamond Systems from October 2008 through May 2016, I left Diamond Systems to pursue a high prestige position (VP Sales North America) for a $85 million company, and relocated to Massachusetts. During my time in Mass Jonathan Miller (CEO Diamond Systems), and I still remained close friends. We got together for numerous dinners, when Jonathan traveled to Mass, and I to California. Unfortunately, the grass is not always greener on the other side, and Jonathan was gracious enough to take me back with open arms. I also don’t understand all the negative reviews, because I would not have remained friends with Jonathan if I though he was a bad boss, or mistreated others.

I had to go through a hectic move from Massachusetts to California, but I am delighted to be back at Dimond Systems with all my old friends and collogues.

I have worked at Diamond Systems for 8 years. There is a current Employee who has worked for Diamond for almost 20 years. There is a former Employee that had worked for the Company for 8 years that is interviewing for a current position so that he can return to Diamond. There are lots of challenging projects and challenging work to do. The owner gives you the freedom and ability to work on these projects and issues whether they be accounting, operations, engineering, shipping, etc. Everyone is invited to take initiative and rise to the best of their ability. It appears to me that some of the negative reviews here were written by one or two individuals who did not understand the culture of a small company. In a small company everybody knows what they should be doing and what all the people around you should be doing. There is a lot to do. The owner just wants people to do their jobs and help each other out. If you are working and producing for the company you are fine. The comments about him in the other reviews are very one sided and are not true. There are no lawsuits and there is no screaming or berating going on.

The road traffic in the area tends to be heavy.
