Pros

Invodo had its ups and downs, as all companies do, but overall it was an incredible place to work. Great people were involved in growing the company, and themselves, which created an enriching workplace. Everyone should be proud of what they accomplished and know that the real relationships built will last even if the company does not.

Cons

Everyone had high hopes about the great opportunities the future held when Invodo was acquired by Industrial Color. But due to poor planning, disrespectful client management, and incompetent leadership at Industrial Color what was built over the course of 10+ years was dissolved in less than 1.

Pros

1. Generally free-spirited work environment. 2. Vacation policy (or lack thereof). 3. Decent downtown location. 4. Lots of potential for young, hard-working ambitious personalities to be involved in generally interesting work.

Cons

1. A serious lack of vision, direction and management at the C-Level, most notably the CEO/CFO. Invodo's senior management goes to great lengths to try and self-identify with a cultural dogma of ingenuity and creativity but has no idea how to actually foster such an environment. Senior management lacks a fundamental understanding of the constantly evolving tech space which breeds an atmosphere of resentment and alienation from those in the trenches. 2. Very poor work/life balance at mediocre/sub-standard market wages for the Austin job market. 3. Reasonable requests for raises/support staff/etc met with firm and ungiving resistance from management despite constant claims of profitability and growth. 4. Lack of accountability for underachieving/culturally poisonous employees who are few and far between but cemented due to internal politics and the absence of middle management.
