Constant change - but not in a good way
|
|
Interesting tech
Social media leaders within the organization
|
Management truly seemed clueless about the business - their resources and strategy. Papermaster was touted as an M&A master, but in truth was just someone who liked to buy things and then would get bored quickly.

Good place to work
|
|
Great people, cool technology, excellent atmosphere. nGenera was a fun place to work with lots of opportunity to do new and exciting things.
|
Because nGenera was a startup that was conceived at the top of the last tech bubble, there were a lot of money struggles, and management often went after the wrong resources with large sums of money at the expense of solid, proven resources.

Make sure that you have a strong direction, and that you have the staff to support that vision. Don't let the founder's hopes for the company be subjugated by the new CEO. Steve Papermaster is a great guy and his wishes should be respected by the new CEO Tom Kelly.

Hours were reasonable and not strictly enforced. Freedom to work at home during days you can't make it to the office.
|
Poor documentation in codebase. Made it hard to accomplish tasks assigned to you.
It's also very hard to find help as most of the other engineers are too busy to help.

Branch out and stop copying other technologies. Why would anyone need social interaction like Facebook in a business where most conversations and interactions between the customers is at most a couple of minutes.

Become more collaborative and open with plans / strategies with all employees
|
|
- Innovative product and service offerings
- Very talented and renowned employees
- Broad industry access to C-Level leaders of the global 200 corporations
- Pioneering business transformation strategies
- Has a possibility to break into a large market for Software as a Service (SaaS) if they invest, focus, and execute
|
- Unproven business model
- Service offering bundles and pricing is not well thought out
- Confused product and service message to the market
- Lack of input from employees on service and product strategies outside of a very small group
- Poor investment decisions on acquisitions
- Integrating acquisitions were done poorly, hampering synergies and slowing sales pipeline
- Had unqualified managers in key positions who had too many responsibilities and consequently did none very well
- Said they wanted to be a new kind of company but continued to cling to the old Big 6 consulting methods
- It’s hard to tell who’s responsible for anything - very disjointed organizational constructs
- Requires evangelizing an entirely new business model without the tangible software and service assets and methods to pull it off

Next Generation company with old style methods
|
|
The company grew very fast via acquisitions. The people that came with the acquisitions are great to work with.
It's hard to come up with other "best" reasons. I guess if you are a member of a select group you will have good reasons to stay there.
|
As an employee you are in the dark on how the company is really doing and the overall direction. Too diversified and the company is lacking a good strategic steady direction. No training or clear career advancement. Typical corporate america. Benefits are not up to par with industry.
