Pros

There are no pros. It's been a while since I worked at SWO but i'd like to put another negative review on the top of their glassdoor page because they deserve it. This place was so awful. If you're reading this because you're thinking about joining SWO, don't waste your time.

Cons

Top 3 worst places to work.

Hi - I am genuinely sorry you feel so strongly that you are using your time to write an additional review instead of channeling this energy into your current role and organisation. Feedback is a gift - we would love to be able to meet everyone's expectations but this is near impossible. Part of the reason for that is we are not the right company or culture for everyone. You have said we are one of the top 3 companies to work for - assuming you have worked at all three, I hope this has now given you a better insight into the right company and set up for you and your career and you are being a superstar there. If you still have the energy and time to do so, I would always appreciate understanding specific examplesof why we were so bad for you (john.mayes@softwareone.com). This would be appreciated. If you are reading this because you are thinking about joining SWO - feel free to get in touch to make your own decision - we may very well not be the best company for you (no hard feelings). But we would also love to be the best company you have ever worked for if we can.

Hey - thank you for the feedback. I would love to say that our impulsive decisions are because we are being agile and speed is one of our core values - you know, fail fast and learn faster!? I know this is not always the case- we are a growing company and some if this is new for even our top leadership. However we believe if we stay true to our values, we invest in our employees - then if we do make impulsive decisions, they are always basedon a good foundation and if get the decision wrong, we learn not to make it again and how to be better! Hope you have founda brilliant company to be a part of anyway.

Pros

They were many, but they r all diminishing everyday

Cons

- poor leaders 1990 style of working. In 2018 their leaders plan to implement strategies that are accepted by rest comoanies as ineffective, and dropped years ago - micromanagement -u only get 75% variable pay now

Hi - thanks for your feeback. Would be great if you could be more specific on what has diminishedand how we can improve? I am not sure where you are based but you can email me directly in confidence or discuss with your local leader or HR partner. We have grown year on year in the last decade and 2017 was our most successful yet - the outlook for 2018 and our customer feedback is even better. Yes we are changing, and this is not easy - we make mistakes- some big, some small - and we try learn from them - and the way we run the business has to evolve as we grow. What we try to keep solid as a rock are our values - so if this is not the case then myselfor the CEO would love to hear about it asap. I actually disagree with you on variable pay - this is not the case - every employee in the company has a bonus structure where you can earn zero (if you under perform) to 110% and higher (if you over perform). we are also investing significantly into reward and recognition activities with additonal $ values so I am not sure why you would say this? Would be great to hear your feedback in our annual compensation survey too if you have time. Thank you again anyway and I hope we get the opportunity to address your concerns.
