Pros

The best thing about working here is the relaxed culture. Work life balance is great. Flexible working arrangements and making the employees feel appreciated. Appreciation is something a lot of companies take for granted. Benefits and vacation package is very good. Company activities are very appreciated by members and families.

Cons

Senior Management can be out of touch. They say open doors. Challenge everything. But in reality - you know! Agile Methodology is good, but the main scrum master left (even though he was appreciated). Most IT people feel that if CTO focused more in the company and not on her career, bring smarter people than her and avoid her loud laughter and small talk and BS it would do the team good.

Pros

Benefits are OK but they will need to continue to upgrade these as more companies are becoming competitive in the Cleveland/Akron area employment market.

Cons

There have been a lot of changes over the past 5+ years at this company and not a lot of them in the right direction. The market is changing and they seem to constantly fall behind. There seems to be a major disconnect with this company especially between technology and product and then to everyone else in the entire company. Floors are divided. Everyone is working in their own worlds and this is a huge problem that needs to be addressed company-wide ASAP. Another issue with this company, and like so many other reviews have said, is pay. Higher level executives and managers are compensated well there`s no doubt in this but I was always turned down when trying to give my lower level and senior employees the salaries they deserve at market medium. There is no reason anyone with 10 or more years experience, college educated and excellent worker should be making any less than what they are worth in the market and this is a big reason why employees leave. I unfortunately agree with a lot of the other posts on here regarding the following There are employees in management and executive positions that are not leaders Bullying, nepotism, and favoritism DOES STILL exist HR is completely out of touch Poor compensation for non-managers Company claims to be Agile but is still Waterfall Communication across departments is terrible No room for advancement as managers and executives have it too good Products are outdated and customers are not happy

Pros

I dont even know what to write here right now.

Cons

All of the positive reviews on here are either from HR trying to bump the score up (very obvious) or managers that are so proud of themselves and are in the "OEC in crowd." This company is a sad place and it is only getting worse. So much has changed in the matter of 5 years and not for the better. A lot of mistreatment and poor leadership and management. Employees being undervalued and overworked. Favoritism, nepotism and major lack of career growth opportunity. The company is very top heavy. Workloads are not created equal. Major disconnect and communication issues across all departments. A lot of the "blame game" is played. This stuff has to stop. No one is going to want to come and work here with all of these issues. The negative reviews will continue until REAL positive change is put in place.
