      Pros

      Helping libraries is a noble cause

      Cons

      Private equity backed. This means they continually reusuce r&d spend. A tech company who reduces r&d spend each year won’t be a tech company much longer

      Advice to Management

      Scrap the messaging. Fix the products you have and build something that is actually modern and cool for the future

      There are truly some fantastic people at SirsiDynix. My experience with management has been great as well.

      Cons

      Development pace can be frustrating and compensation is far behind similar companies in this industry.

      Pros

      Employees work together. We get free bagels on Fridays. The customers are really nice to work with. This isn't like your typical support team where you are constantly on the phone. Instead you work a lot via email. There are always new challenges and puzzles to solve.

      Cons

      Management has made great efforts to listen to employees though in the past that was a problem.

      Advice to Management

      Continue in the direction you are going.

      I have been working at SirsiDynix full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      The free bagels are nice each week. Lower level management seems to genuinely care about their employees. They do activities about once a quarter that keep things fun. Many good people working here make for a decent environment.

      Cons

      They seem too focused on releasing new products to realize their important products are failing. Customers are growing increasingly frustrated with the release of new products that are not ready for release.

      Upper management(VP, CXO, Director) seem to be pretty out of touch with their employees. They think everyone is happy, when it clearly isn't the case. This can be noticed by looking at the review trend on this site, which shows a steady decline over the last 12 months.

      Compensation is lacking, and opportunities to increase that compensation are decreasing. They do yearly raises, but they are more of a cost of living type of raise. With only a few options available for advancing through the company, you can hit a ceiling really fast and have no motivation to work hard from that point on. This year the cost of living raises were very small. They really need to start having some type of benefit to being a good employee. Too many employees just coast by, knowing there is no real benefit to working hard and proving your value to the company any more. If you work hard, the only thing you truly get rewarded with is additional work, with no benefit to you whatsoever.

      Advice to Management

      Focus on your good employees, and make them feel needed/wanted. Stop telling lies to your staff about how great everything is going financially. If we are struggling, we deserve to know how and why, so we can help to correct that downward trajectory. Just telling us everything is great, and then cutting pay and staff doesn't help anything.

      Focus on making the products we have great, not just on making more products.

      Add an incentive program for being a quality employee that includes merit increases. Having to fight for promotions that offer little extra compensation is unfair. Be more clear on pay scale/raises. I know several people in lower positions making more than I am at a higher position because they either started out at a higher salary, or have been here longer. If someone is a higher level, higher pay should be assumed. There is no reason for a junior level or level 1 employee to make more than a level 2 or 3 employee. If someone is promoted they should be making more money than those at lower levels, because thy have earned it.
