Pluspunten
1. Ability to wear many hats and interface with high levels of customer management staff 2. Generally a 40 hour work week, however when traveling with the GAINSystems management team 12+ hour days are the norm 3. Unintentional comedy... Similar to a Mike Tyson post fight interview, the lack of competence & awareness in management staff can be inadvertently funny at times. 4. Employee bonding over general misery 5. CEO drinks water out of a wine glass only
Minpunten
1. Employees are forced to use a 'sign in/out sheet' where they must state the time in which they enter/leave the office at anytime. This is not the 1970's nor a kindergarten classroom and a very small company, people can communicate and have cell phones. 2. REACTIVE environment. Constant fire drills due to product instability and lack of proper project planning. A project plan at this organization is most useful if placed in the trash 3. "Yes Man" culture. To be successful at this organization one must blindly follow managements instructions with a smile on their face. 4. Major product quality issues. Software releases are performed way too frequently with inadequate testing. The vicious cycle of fixing one issue and breaking another is the theme of this process and has become a huge burden on many of the employees 5. Uncompetitive benefits package 6. General disorganization, scheduled meetings are blown off, antiquate technologies employed 7. Server room is basically a janitor's closet 8. Severe micromanagement at times 9. Rapid employee turnover
