G5 Devastated My Family - Director G5 Employee Review

Great work environment. Great community great benefits

Too many programs to use and manage

- There are some really great people who work there. - Dogs in the office - Google partnership - Interesting vertical (prop tech is up and coming) - Casual attire (like, super casual).

• Tout flexibility and work-life balance, but there is definitely an 8:00 am-5:00 pm "be in the office" mentality. o Even when schools were closed for 4 days due to snow, the CEO said to the whole company, “If you can’t make it to work and find care for your kids on snow days, you probably shouldn’t live in Bend.” • Low pay. They don't offer equity in the company any longer and never adjusted salaries to account for that. They pay roughly 20%-40% below market. • Competition caught up and costs less. Product is becoming a commodity and customers are churning. • Burnt out CEO. It's a 15 year old "startup" that has plateaued and Dan Hobin can't wait to sell it (but no one will buy it). • Out of touch executive team. The VP's and C-Level spend all their time re-orging rather than fixing the product or delivering on any of the features/ functionality they've promised customers. • Executive churn. In the last few months the COO and CPO left. In 2018 their female CFO left after only a few months. (Read between the lines). • Bad apples ruining the whole bunch. Cliché metaphor, but appropriate. There are a few “top performers” there who should be cut. • Inexperienced management tasked with challenging situations (high employee churn, low budgets/ no raises for team members, budget cuts, re-orgs, constant customer escalations due to product failures).
