Pros

I got paid on the same day each month

Cons

After 11 years of working with Imagine I have learnt that no matter who heads the teams, how many times the organisational chart is reviewed, how many CEO's come.... And go... The bottom line is the same... No investment in the people who have to meet the ridiculous deadlines, and promises, made to old, new and potential clients alike! Sales are made on lies. Example: Yes, our product does that! Reality: No, it does not... They just want you money!!! Potential Clients. If they cannot show it to you it's because it DOES NOT exist! If they can lie to your face as a potential client, IMAGINE what they are doing to their employees!!!

It's like Trump is running this company

Pros

At least it's an interesting industry with good challenges today and into the future.

Cons

CEO has all the characteristics of D-Trump: ego-driven, surrounded by "yes" men, alternate facts about how the business is doing, takes care of the leadership team (rich) and steps all over the workers (poor). Totally lost on business direction with no business cases to drive development. Instead a customer talks about spending lots of money if only a few key features are added and then when the features are added, the customer never buys the amount of product they claimed they would. Of course, the fewer product bought may be a direct result of how late the product was finished due to the constant interrupt-driven product roadmap. And lastly, the offices with the productive teams have all been closed, leaving only politically protected offices too busy performing CYA rituals instead of actually producing.

Pros

No question about it - the biggest pro is that you get to work with a team of great people that are smart, driven, and many of them have been with the company, (under it's previous names) for 10 or more years. They are considered leaders in the industry, The office setting is nice, and it has a very open feeling, (maybe a bit too open, actually, as the cube walls are very low!) with lots of natural light and a beautiful view out over the Colorado State Capitol and Civic Center Park.

Cons

There is a pervasive feeling that no one is running the ship. The employees are constantly trying to do what is best for the customers, the ownership group is constantly trying to sell the business so they can move on to other investments, and the executive management team is just caught in surprise in the middle, so they are grasping at straws to try to appear innovative. The result is unfortunately the opposite, as we keep changing business plans, sales strategies, new product development schedules, etc. It's about as chaotic as that fateful night on the Titanic, and you get the sense that everyone in the lifeboats is rowing with great effort, but without any leadership message, the lifeboats are spinning in circles. Someone needs to grab a bullhorn and announce what we are supposed to do at this point.... to organize people to row in one uniform direction. Until then, we've got lifeboats out there all just spinning around while everyone anxiously hopes for a clear message to come!
