Great company outside of the US

Pros

* London, Guadalajara, Chișinău know how to deliver software. The developers and the PMO staff in these locations and NY are highly talented. * I have never had the pleasure of being employed at a company that is so dedicated to the Agile methodology before Tacit. * The Product Management side of the company is smart and enjoyable to work with. * PMO management in London is inspiring and should take a greater role in managing the NA offices.

Cons

* The San Francisco PMO management team went from greatly inspiring (2015) to less than uninspiring (2016). Reminiscent of a "Lord of The Flies" style - PMO management in San Francisco adopts practices like: ** Public humiliation in standups ** Alienating and talking over the Tech team ** Telling members of the project team that they are "Slowing down velocity" for taking vacation that was knowingly approved in meetings with project members. ** Failing to deliver projects where other PMO teams before 2016 have delivered before.

Pros

Great local team Stellar benefits Amazing ideas Great office and location great work/life balance Most of the managers have the employees best interests at heart

Cons

Integrating with Newgistics has been challenging and half of the time no one knows what they are doing. Lack of value for employees as Newgistics sees them as a number. Total lack of profit sharing. Most of the new executive team is at best so so. Crappy pay

Pros

Once had a highly regarded reputation in the eComm/CMS space. I worked with some of the most talented engineers and delivery professionals in my career, many of which I've stayed close friends with.

Cons

Once the Newgistics merger went into full force, the culture went south. HQ in Austin was absolutely clueless on how to maintain good culture with highly skilled knowledge workers in San Francisco. Benefits were cut, upward mobility was virtually nonexistent, and there was a mass exodus of top notch leadership. The managers that remained or were brought in were absurdly incompetent and sometimes unethical. It caused a steady outflow of top talent to where the great culture that once thrived became virtually unrecognizable. The sales pipeline was once overflowing and then it dried up. HR was the worst I've ever seen in any company. When they cut our benefits, they had an entire year to communicate the change, yet they waited until just before benefits enrollment. They were also very poor at time keeping, many times making mistakes in payroll and vacation accrual.
