Pros

Interesting tech and products. Flexible working

Cons

Endless, sudden layoffs of talent, skill and experience. People leaving, voluntarily or otherwise, are not replaced but the whip keeps cracking (micro-management) in order to win sales, often in ways that reek of desperation and set a bad precedent for the future. CEO is insulating themselves with yes-men. Zero roadmap. Zero leadership. Zero personability. Zero pay-increases for almost 2 years. CEO has stated these will only happen with performance reviews. Performance reviews have been suspended, seemingly indefinitely as trakstar was dumped and not replaced. Morale in the company is in the gutter. Just bean-counting in order to get the company to look good on paper in the hopes of a sale of the company.

Pros

If you are looking to work at Telestream, please know the previous CEO Rhonda Bassett-Spiers is no longer with Telestream and normal great service has resumed with Dan Castles and the wonderful and experienced leadership team. After 20 months of hell the company is back to rebuilding and growing.

Cons

None now that Rhonda Bassett-Spiers has departed
