How can 2 good companies become one big failure?

Senior technical consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Our paychecks are not bouncing! These two companies (SGHE and Datatel) used to be great companies to work for, now the combined company is bottom of the barrel.

Cons

Awful morale, employees are being used and abused, salaries are frozen, benefits are being eroded, expected bonuses are not being paid out. Travelling consultants are being nickeled and dimed to death. Management claims to be investing in employee education, but that is only lip service. Good people are being laid off, better people are resigning on their own.

Very sad to watch this company go down

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

A few good people left trying to make a difference, staff that really care about the future of higher education.

Cons

John Speer, naive HR department, few top managers understand how to run a global company, pouring money into technology that needs to be completely rethought in terms of delivery methods and global appeal, not taking care of the most important asset of the company-it's people.
