Greystone Solutions Employee Reviews about "people"

Pros

The people who work here - management and principle developers excluded - are great! Everyone is friendly and gets along well.

Cons

Management is horrible. The company is run like a family business. The CEO walks around the small office space talking very loudly on his cell phone, and a lot of these calls aren't even business related, such as calls to his family. Very unprofessional. It is very frustrating and very difficult to work in the loud environment. Also, if you are a developer, be prepared to use outdated technology - I'm talking working on projects involving SP 2007! Most of the code is unmanageable and extremely disorganized. Greystone also values billable hours, so you are "encouraged" to have as many billable hours as possible. If you are okay with making some sketchy ethical choices to make greystone money, then more power to you. Greystone managers push for code that gets the job done - so "patches" and bad conventions are okay. If you are considering working here, I would highly advise looking elsewhere. Management is oblivious to the problems of the company. It, overall, is just a dreary place to work.

Cons

-Leadership did not follow through on announced company plans / initiatives (i.e. growth plans, employee share ownership, service offering definition, messaging, & marketing). -Leadership all too often a 'bottleneck' in the Company's ability to move tasks & initiatives forward. Could do with far less micromanagement. -Lack of defined project management processes -Lack of Employee Performance Management processes. -Leadership not open to ideas / suggestions from employees. As a result, several employees formed a perception that ideas & work weren't valued, and left the Company. It's very difficult to maintain one's self esteem when you don't feel valued and you don't see a successful path forward. - Inconsistent candidate interview process. Several candidates participated in telephone and/or in-person interviews and received zero feedback from the Company, despite repeated follow up. - If you're considering joining, research the Company, speak with current and former employees, and be sure to ask the "difficult" questions during the interview process. You can enjoy a great deal of success at Greystone, if it's truly the right fit for both parties.
