Much of how you view Greenphire will depend on which department you are in. From what I have observed, I am shocked Greenphire has recently won best places to work. It has a lot of problems to fix and definitely, in my opinion, does not deserve it.
- Unlimited PTO - won't be paid out for it when you leave.
- Reactive rather than proactive.
- Management - on average incompetent, apathetic, and in dire need of management and leadership training. I have overheard more than one manager talk down to their employees in a rude, condescending tone.
- Coworkers - Most are good, but there are several who have seem to have perfected doing the bare minimum and sliding their work to others.
- Broken resourcing models - If you are unlucky and get put on a busy team, expect to be overworked, while other teams are underworked. If you complain, it will take months to get any sort of help.
-Blatant favoritism - If you are not in the in-crowd, don't expect to receive any recognition for your work or resources when you need help.
- Little training. Poor documentation.
- Manual processes abound and there is very little effort to rectify this.
- Broken products and lack of a drive to fix them properly - heard one manager say that one recent product was rushed out with a ton of bugs so that the CEO wouldn't have egg on his face in front of the board after how much longer it had taken than planned.
- Reviews - Your performance review will be based on 4 subjective categories. This means that if your manager does not like you or does not observe you much, he/she has the power to dock your review and invent nonsense that you will not be able to refute since it's all subjective.
- For many positions, don't expect to do what you were hired here to do.
- Little to no opportunities for job growth.
- Trend towards hiring contractors lately.
