Comically Poor Leadership

Pros

Overlooking the obvious manufactured reviews that litter this page; see that the only pro listed is the people. Empirix was at one time staffed in the lower ranks with dedicated and passionate personnel. Unfortunately, due to the "toxic leadership", as one apt reviewer put it, the morale has been driven to incarceration levels. The once passionate personnel are likely to be in the process of leaving or have left already, this pro will undoubtedly only last as long as the last holdouts can stomach.

Cons

There is no “value add” for the employee here. Leadership embodies the "fire all until productivity entirely ceases then hire one more" motto. Enjoy "just-in-time" employee staffing? Then join Empirix. If you want to work for a software company run entirely by sales this is the place for you. Empirix is "led" by an executive suite full of what one can only describe as "the bros". If the CEO or their cronies do not like you prepare to be ousted. Many productive employees were fired or laid-off with no clear foresight for customer needs due to childlike leadership. If you do find yourself at Empirix and survive without quitting the first year; be sure to mark October on your calendar for the annual blood sacrifice of employees with no apparent logic for who or where the cuts are made. From inside the belly of the beast it would seem the leadership is simply preparing their golden parachute and their buddies at the top for the inevitable crash that this company is on the precipice of.

The Glassdoor reviews were right!

Pros

Good benefits. Nice people to work with. Nice office.

Cons

Decision makers are lackadaisical at best. No follow through from management. No clear vision or path forward. Every employee is expected to handle multiple roles, no matter how inexperienced you may be at it all. If you’ve done it once, you are the official expert in the eyes of Empirix. Read the older reviews that give insight into the history of layoffs. They are spot on. When EBITDA falls, jobs are lost no matter how crucial they are to the business. Those job functions will then either fall to the wayside or be absorbed by someone who does something completely different but happens to be a warm body in the office. Communication is severely lacking at all levels. People are treated as disposable.
