Pros
They had a foosball table in the breakroom so the implementation team could play instead of working.
Cons
I started at Intellinex in 2001 and worked there for 18 months. This was the point where they were just trying to split out from E&Y, who was trying to sell the company. It had been a training department at E&Y. Since they had been a department at a private company, there was no concept of how to run a public company. They literally did not have an HR dept.........the leaders had expected growth, and gave the command to some hiring staff to "go hire" so I was brought in as a Project Manager. I started getting suspicious when I couldn't get anyone to call me back and let me know where to report for work the first day and when the hiring staff had no clue as to what the benefits were. So i found an address on the website and decided to go there. I showed up and the receptionist told me to "go in the back and find a desk, any empty one will do." This was the introduction to the company. For the first six months, I literally reported to no one. Nobody checked on me, gave me any assignements, or asked what I was doing. I learned the company by walking around and asking people "what do you do?" One fellow employee was getting charged for medical insurance but the insurance company did not have his name. Intellinex would not fix it until he threatened a lawsuit. At that time, there were a small handful of people who understood the work processes they were trying to set up, and the rest of us were worker bees. A dozen or so of us that had Project Management experience knew how to track costs, schedules, etc., and kept being frustrated because no one else undestoood or cared about how to manage a project. So we formed an autonomous team of Project Managers and started to develop our own tools, which caught the attention of management and they assigned us all someone to report to. I finally got a project.....implementing this LMS software tool at a small pharmacy chain. The implementation was dependent on this one small team of software implementers that were overworked and too busy to help me. The software was just another commodity LMS, but they were convinced it was something special. My most embarrassing moment was when we had scheduled a demo at a client site and despite 7 hours on the help line it never worked. Raises were done by the partners huddling in a room and doling out the raises. They were not based on any system, for there was no system of goals or performance feedback. If you didn't have someone in the room to lobby for you, you didn't get a raise. When I asked why mine was so small, the only justification was one single comment I made in one meeting during the year.......the one meeting the partner came to. Of course, with such disorganization, Intellinex was losing money and laid off about half the company one Friday morning. The same day I called my old company back and got my old job back by the following Monday. Intellenex has since been bought by Xerox, so maybe they reorganized everthing. But I can say with confidence it was the most disorganized company I ever worked for. Not long after that they had job ads for positions of the senior folks, so they bailed, too.
