At it's peak, it was a small, friendly group of seasoned professionals. There have been many interesting technical problems to solve, and I learned a lot about operating Software as a Service. We worked hard at times, but we had a lot of fun and the work/life balance has been fantastic, with very generous vacation benefits. | The main problem at Anchor was that the business model just hasn't seemed to pan out. It's not clear to me if that is a problem of senior management, or (more likely) if the market just doesn't exist to support Anchor's products at a price point that can sustain the company. | 1.0 | POSITIVE | 1.0 | APPROVE | 0.0 | 5.0 | 5.0 | 0.0 | 3.5 | 4.5 | 2.5 | 248603 | Open | Thanks for creating such a great team and for fostering a great work environment. I'm glad I joined the company and was able to work with such a talented group. | 0.0 | [] | No | Yes | 0.0 | Jan 6th, 2021 08:12PM | Jan 6th, 2021 08:12PM | Anchor Intelligence | |||||||||||||

Both research and implementation aspects to the business provide many opportunities for growth and challenges otherwise atypical in an internet-focused software environment. | Nobody in senior management has any real startup experience but plenty with large companies, and it shows. With under 20 employees, there were already big-company pathologies. There was the wasteful office move with the concommitant political jockeying for seating. The CEO has the only office, yet he's a part-timer. The other part-timer is a political-nepotism buddy of one of the investors. Technical hiring highly favors ex-Yahoo cronies over competence or startup suitability. Technology and tools are chosen based on market popularity rather than applicability or competitive advantage (Java, MySQL). | 1.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 | 0.0 | 4.0 | 5.0 | 1.5 | 248603 | Open | You're a small company, so act like one. Lose the cronyism the part-timers. Get a CTO who is (and wants to be) a people manager and leader, knows technology, *and* has startup experience. Double your hardware budget. | 0.0 | [] | No | No | 0.0 | Jan 6th, 2021 08:12PM | Jan 6th, 2021 08:12PM | Anchor Intelligence |
