Pros
Loved the work environment and my co-workers. Lots of bright people who really enjoyed for a company that makes products that help children learn. This will all change, however. With all the employee reductions and more to come, this company will never be the same. Many current employees who rightfully don't believe the CEO's optimism are already looking for new jobs.
Cons
Executive Level Management...they're a joke. The CEO is a con-man. He tells everybody not to worry as he has a strategy in place, then proceeds to lay people off after the company misses their revenue targets again and again by a mile. How can you be so wrong? In the short time I've been employed here I've seen a 50% reduction in staff...and more to come. Since the announcement of the VTech acquisition we've been told that this is an "opportunity" for us to grow and expand, and the VTech is impressed with our technology, processes and people...who is he kidding? If we were such a great company, then why did we get sold for a mere $72M? Was it because the company has lost a HUGE amount of money over the past several years? So much money lost that we no longer get a 401K match or annual bonus! The only opportunity is for is for the CEO and his Senior VPs to walk away with millions after running what was once a good company into the ground. It makes me sick to see what they've done to this company and how many good people's lives have been affected by poor management.
