Pros

The atmosphere here at Griffin Technology is awesome. The health benefits, and quarterly bonuses are all worth it. This company is very laid back; from the free coffee, to the hours an employee works (as long as said employee works 8 hours a day).

Cons

The company, and lately those working for Griffin Technology, are undermanned in some offices and overmanned in others. For example, having one person doing the job of two, and also taking on the duties of a third job. Pay needs to be based on experience, education and actual work. Leaders and Management need to be held accountable and also need to hold their employees accountable. Roles and duties need to be clearly defined out. This company is good to work for when first getting out into the 'real working world', but not for the long term.

Pros

Fantastic culture Fast-paced, exciting industry Lots of great people and talent Great learning experience Free lunch Fridays (sometimes) Generous insurance package (pre-acquisition) Learned a lot from various members of the new ownership organization

Cons

Due to Griffin’s own failures (i.e. catastrophic losses at big box retail), they were acquired by a competitor from CA in late 2016. The Griffin brand was largely forgotten due to geographical distance and a tired sales team that never understood the brand, history or products. Focus was shifted, almost exclusively, to supporting non-Griffin initiatives while still being expected to grow internal profitability. This was a complete disaster and culminated with layoffs in Oct 2017. Lack of leadership and direction at the VP level. Leadership was terrified and desperate for approval from the new owner. Frivolous, irresponsible hiring and spending in marketing Lack of strategy and innovation in product development Failure by sales to grow (or maintain) customer relationships and develop new channels Nepotism was a problem with leadership, morale and productivity
