WildTangent Reviews

Where to start? As the PC business winds down the company is increasingly desperate to create new business and the folks in charge have resorted to a ridiculous level of micro management. In the process they have drove away employees at all levels. Priorities shift daily and communication has broke down horribly.

The engineering team wants to be agile but either the product management or senior leadership teams aren't interested or aren't willing to transition, so we sprint but we're really not being agile. Career growth is lacking. I get that it is up to the individual to drive their career but when your manager is supposed to work on development goals with you and never does: that is on them. The company lacks any sort of incentive mechanism to recognize hard workers. We have stock options but there do not appear to be any plans to go public, there are no bonuses, and the company doesn't match any 401K contributions. Finally, the company is old enough and has enough smart people that we can make educated and informed decisions regarding corporate direction, unfortunately I appears that we are still at times making decisions based on hunches and intuition.
