Routeware Reviews

The people in power only do the bidding of the private equity firm who came in and unnecessarily let go of a bunch of employees all at the same time who were already working as part of a skeleton crew. They also did their customers a disservice by getting rid of numerous necessary services and products, because it's obvious the private equity firm doesn't care about either the employees or customers. They fired the CEO who had taken the company from a failing organization and resurrected it into the premier company in the industry, for reasons unknown, and replaced him with three people sharing responsibilities including a person working directly for the private equity firm and an incompetent CTO who thinks that lines of code generated are a proper means of measuring worth as engineers. I couldn't in good conscious recommend working here, as the company is a sinking ship. I would be very surprised if they're still in business in five years after alienating so many customers and employees. It does appear they have a new CEO, but the previous one was exceptional, and I doubt the new one is anything more than a placeholder, doing the bidding of the private equity firm.

I regret to say that my experience at Routeware has been nothing short of dismal. The atmosphere of fear due to constant threats of firings and layoffs is suffocating. It seems that the company's primary focus has shifted from valuing its employees and fostering a healthy work environment to solely prioritizing profit margins. The corporate messaging reeks of insincerity, lacking any semblance of humanity or transparency. It's clear that the new executive team, which has undergone a complete overhaul in the past year, is more concerned with hiring their acquaintances and outsourcing work offshore than upholding the values and culture that once made this company great. Speaking of the CEO, their leadership leaves much to be desired. In my opinion, they are the worst I've ever had the misfortune of working under. Their disregard for both the well-being of employees and the environment is appalling. Routeware's culture has devolved into toxicity, with micromanagement running rampant. Instead of investing in the growth and development of existing employees, the company shamefully opts to replace them with off shore hires. For those seeking a workplace that genuinely values its employees and operates with integrity, I suggest you to look elsewhere. Routeware is nothing more than a sinking ship, driven solely by greed. Avoid this company at all costs.
