Pros

Gravic seems to follow its own CORE VALUES for the most part. There is a good balance between work and personal life. Politics are more minimal than many workplaces. The physical location is decent; programmers get shared offices; many other workers occupy cubes in noisier areas. One principal competitor, Goldengate was acquired by Oracle and there is a good possibility that Gravic may be snapped up at some point; be sure to ask about stock options!

Cons

Unfortunately expertise in any specific function does not make someone a good manager; no additional training in management seems to be required for advancement to the detriment of direct reports. The company strives to provide social events for employees but fails to bring them together into a true culture; it seems to not understand the mind set of its younger workers and thus will not retain many of them once trained. Lean crew means there is more work than can easily be handled by most employees; rewards are small and praise dependent on the attitude and mindset of the direct manager. Key Results Plans are in place for each employee that roll up into the organization scorecard; KRPs try to quantify many aspects of performance that cannot truly be rated this way. The second part of the review sees to be all hearsay and undocumented .... mostly negative for most employees willing to discuss this yearly process. Pay increases are minimal, bonus $ small and dependent on the KRP results. Reluctance to take any venture capital has resulted in the inability to fund many important initiatives that would have lifted annual growth and profits.

Over the years we have taken the advice of our departing employees, especially departing senior managers, to heart and have improved operations a lot. We can always do better and continue to listen closely to what our employees have to say. We have a suggestion box, website, annual employee survey, open door management policy, and many other ways to encourage feedback that results in visible improvements.
