Pros
The company still has a fair amount of ‘good reputation’ runway to exhaust.
Cons
Keep your nose down. Stay in your lane. See something egregious that will harm the company that’s in the adjacent lane? Shut up. Check your boxes. Drone on. What was once a terrific familial environment where everyone had everyone’s back to “do what’s best for Crestron” has become a toxic siloed culture of CYA. Garbage employees who game the metrics are enshrined. At 25+ years, the CEO is clearly well beyond his peak and is now insulated by ‘yes’ men. Completely out of touch. Nepotism is rampant. CFO is FAR too involved in operational decisions. COO is entirely absent. CTO is tragically an almost nonexistent presence anymore (at a technology company). Every day feels like a new corporate ‘vision’ was born in the CEO’s bowl of Alphabits cereal; completely scrapping yesterday’s vision. All reactive all the time with zero patience for efforts to take root. Feels like the ship is rudderless at full throttle and we’re trying to convince the market that our erratic movements are those of a nimble and responsive authority. It’s utterly exhausting. But hey, there’s a gym on campus!
