Pros
The ICs working here are great people. The direct managers are doing their best.
Cons
I felt like I was working for a fake company.
Onboarding, pay, benefits, were all very haphazard; I had to reach out to get anything done, and I missed 3 months of retirement pay because... Well I don't know because I never got an answer.
The company itself doesn't feel real. Who actually works at LevelBlue? All the people I ever spoke to were from one of their acquisitions, so any help I needed was hard to get since they also only really knew their own segment of this holding company, nobody knows who the company is run by.
Finally, the work itself. I don't even know what to do anymore. They bought our product from another company, and then...nothing. Training is some quizzes on a single product (one of their other acquisitions) and then a bunch of slideshows about "the future".
As a sales org employee, your commissions and pay are tied to sales made; however there's no support, vision, or knowledge to answer questions like, "what is the future of this product?" "What do I tell my current customers?" "What should we sell them to keep them?"
They bought a highly specialized technology and it's just sitting there. The highly specialized employees who work on it are wondering if their product even has a future.
Ultimately, it felt like what it is; a Private Equity deal gone wrong
