LiveTechnology reviews

Job description/title is not what you expect, lower than average salaries for the nature of the industry and the title of their workers, working hours are not flexible at all, upper management does not care about employees' opinions

Cold and morgue-like atmosphere. About 75 technology pros who do not interact or even speak in the office. I'm sure they are where they belong and prefer this type of work environment. It was not for me. I was hired as an executive, VP in fact, and placed in a cold, quiet office, at a glass desk, alone. There was no training of any kind. No guidance or indication of what was expected. The occasional, rushed, lunchtime meeting with mgt. were unproductive and centered on the CEOs visions and philosophies. After a few weeks, I took some initiative and began to critique the product I was hired to sell. The first fixes were welcomed and the next were met with disgust. I had crossed a line that I didn't know existed. So, I asked for access to the designers/programmers of the product I was to eventually market. I had hoped to learn from them since management had left me to my own devices. Access was denied, leaving me to wonder what the hell I was doing there in the first place. My overall experience was more or less degrading. To this day, I'm not sure what they were looking to accomplish by hiring me. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.
