RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at SmartStream Technologies full-time
Pros
Current (new) management recognizes where past mistakes have been made and is taking meaningful steps to address the underlying issues
Cons
There is still much work to do and sometimes change does not come easily - 4 stars for now but with continued progress this will be a 5 star firm before you know it
Advice to Management
Keep an eye on what really matters (the associates) and continue the hard work of making the company better tomorrow than it is today

"decent small sized company but lack luster compare to other companies in market"

Pros
Small company less nonsense with communication and internal resources. Good benefits and decent work place. Not traditional work environment and fast paced.
Cons
Too worried about bottom line even for the small things. Lacks vision on bigger picture with clients and employees. not many resources or channels available for self improvement or development of employees.
Advice to Management
no particular advice, just may be nickle and diming may not always be best option for maintaining long term relationships. also just firing employees for the sake of bottom line is a horrible idea.

401k plan. Other than that, I can't think of any.
Cons
Upper management don't care about its employees nor do they recognize talent and use it to their advantage. Management team spends more time arguing about who should be accountable for certain business processes (or lack thereof) rather addressing the real problem of operational and development inefficiencies. There is no transparency, no accountability, and zero employee morale.
People from top to bottom are leaving the firm on a monthly basis and the management can't figure out how to stop the bleeding. SmartStream fun fact: some of the key people who tried to make a difference have all left the firm in the last 18 months.
I feel bad for the few smart, driven, and talented people left in the firm that are trying to do good work.Advice to Management
1. Can the CEO and CTO.
2. Listen to the little guys that are actually doing good work and find ways to improve the overall process.
3. Get rid of the offshore development team and hire some smart engineers from Silicon Valley.SmartStream Technologies 2015-12-14 13:56 PSTHelpful (2)

Pros
Flexible work environment.
Great co-workers.
Work culture is not micro-managed.Cons
Dev / tech teams are backed up and the technology is not up to par.
People just send emails back and forth with no real sense of urgency.
Complacent culture. CEO/CTO do not care about the companies reputation - as long as a client signs, they're happy.Advice to Management
LISTEN to your employees. We actually work on day to day issues.
People are not going to wait for you to finally act. There are plenty of jobs, you aren't Google.SmartStream Technologies 2015-09-01 16:53 PDTHelpful (1)
