Pros

It is a growing industry and most of the employees are nice but some are quick to stab you in the back as soon as they can benefit from it.

Cons

There are a lot to list! The company no longer cares about their employees or a work life balance. They are firing employees who know their positions inside and out and keeping or hiring employees who are lazy and non productive. They recently got rid of some very smart and productive people and closed down offices in the UK and Netherlands. Bottom line is that there is no job security here and upper management believes you are just a dollar figure, completely expendable. The facility is nasty and you will often find mice and mice droppings in your desk. So do not leave good in your desk otherwise you will have a not so nice treat the next day. It looks as though the management team cannot manage effectively. There is little to no communication between departments or to subordinates. No one seems to have a clue what's going on with the company and the moral is at an all time low. People are afraid to lose their jobs and the productive ones still there are either looking for other positions or dreading coming into work. The company does not want to grow at all as evident by the layoffs and treatment of their current customers. What once was a multinational corporation is shrinking to a US based operation. The reason I see behind this is an eventual aquisition by another company. There are a lot of other issues with this organization including favoritism, understaffing, no job description ( have to wear many hats), and no way to voice opinions or recommendations. All in all, not only is it a horrible place to work, if you do get hired, you may not be there long. Did I mention employee turnover is very high!

Pros

The company is in one of the fastest growing market segments right now, so there is a constant need to develop and improve upon processes and systems being used. It can give a lot of exposure to someone coming up in their career.

Cons

1. The new executive management team is quickly sucking the life out of the business. They are constantly "promoting" individuals to new roles for no good reason, creating a hostile environment causing top performers to search for new employment. They also performed the first layoff in the company's history, and it seems as though they are getting ready for another. 2. The office is terrible. People are crowded into an old mill space that could be nice if it weren't for the leaking roof, infestation of mice, or a parking lot better suited for bumper cars. On top of this, there aren't any good options for lunch within walking distance, so employees are stuck bringing a lunch or paying upwards of $10 for a bad sandwich in the downstairs cafe. 3. Getting anything done in this business is nearly impossible. Executives constantly push initiatives down to management, but then block the resources needed to execute (equipment, new hires, etc.) Additionally, projects and priorities change like the wind at Wyless. It is not rare for any one person to have 3-5 "top priorities" with no guidance from management on what the most important items actually are. 4. Collaboration between offices is practically non-existent. The sales force is run very differently in Europe versus the US, and who really knows what's happening in Brazil. The acquisitions from the first quarter of 2014 in the Netherlands and Brazil still don't seem finalized. Sales and finances are still being managed by the old ownership, and no efforts have been made to integrate systems or build scale economies.

Pros

Rapidly growing company presents some learning opportunities. Opportunity for progression for favored individuals. Fair salary. Good facilities in the office.

Cons

A very chaotic workplace. Understaffed in some teams with apparent over staffing in some favored departments. Profits appear dependant on overloading operational teams. Senior management disorganised and in fighting is evident.
