Compliance rewarded over competence - Anonymous employee JATO Dynamics Employee Review

Great work environment and office location downtown.

No real complaints about working here.

A family-owned business that was very successful at one point.

*Personnel: The same personnel retain their roles year-in and year-out which has led to poor decision-making, lack of new ideas and innovation and an overall stagnated work force. *Product: Since it's privately-owned, there are only minor investments made which pale in comparison to the competitors. In addition, new product and innovation suffer greatly. There hasn't been a new, revenue-generating product in years. *Compensation: every year commission and bonus changed especially with declining commercial performance (mostly tied to lack of investment in technology and product).  *Leadership: during my 4-6 years there, JATO went thru as many CEOs. The owner is very old school in thinking and creates an environment where it's difficult to challenge him and/or his cronies (also old school and not up-to-date on current business environment/realities).
