Our CEO decided a few years ago that he wanted to be the next Zuckerberg or Jobs or Musk or some other visionary. He is a smart guy but clearly not a visionary. He has come up over the years with these crazy, ridiculous ideas and wasting resources on them and not a single idea has been successful. His only idea that has turned out to be successful is the one he had when he founded the company. More than 20 years ago…..But all that was OK because even if he wasted precious resources on these silly ideas, for the most part he left the core Analytics team alone. But it all changed one year ago when he decided he would not be an absentee CEO anymore and he was going to demonstrate again that he is a thought leader and visionary….He has pushed Usher, a security product that nobody cares about, and distracted all groups in the company. He has pretty much fired or pushed out all the Senior Management team. The only ones that survive are YES men that have no backbone or good idea. He forced a full reorganization of the Marketing and Technology groups forcing a big exodus of talent. In addition, the new CTO could not care less about the people and it almost seems like he is doing everything in his power to fail. He loves surveys but what he lacks is a vision of where the technology is going. The result is that loyal, very experienced engineers have left and it seems the exodus will continue for a while. But if you enjoy working on dysfunctional organizations and to hate your job every day...This might be the place for you!

You will learn ALOT here and if you can stomach the culture you can get promoted quickly or move teams with little friction. Above market rate benefits that start Day 1 Generally speaking good camaraderie amongst the worker ranks I’ve held multiple roles and have appreciated the opportunities to travel internationally which was life changing The product has a little bit of a learning curve but it genuinely is something special once it’s up and running I felt that towards the end of my tenure my pay was exemplary although I really had to earn it

Inconvénients

Wowwwww where to begin… Well it’s a top down organisation but also a market laggard. Given our position relative to our competitors this regime of leadership is responsible for missing the moment in Cloud, BI and AI. Middle management and upper management alike don’t have a clue and it’s definitely a soap opera of leadership and empire or cult building. Not a great feeling of purpose when everything you do internally as well as with customers is overshadowed by Bitcoin. Dwindling customer base. We’re really only making money by replacing ironically technologies older than us (Cognos,BOBJ) or moving existing customers to our managed cloud The community is totally dead especially internationally. Minimal on the ground experts at strategy and a very loose and underfunded partner program Product conceptually is great but struggles to differentiate from hyperscalers and modern cloud data platforms on value. Leadership can definitely get a little preachy touting merits or metrics that are pretty vain in the big picture Specifically in the last 3 years gaslighting has been the norm for management. Everything here feels performative and doing your best to do your work without upstaging or upsetting your manager. The RSU distribution definitely feels like serfdom. The employees at the bottom get a single digit or if you’re a heretic you get double digit number of RSUs, but it definitely does not seem fair that the benefits of the Bitcoin strategy rolled to the top, at least when the asset is up
