- Oftentimes felt like a sales company with software tacked on as the afterthought. Lots of development effort is wasted on projects designed to land a single customer or to keep a griping customer happy. Squeaky wheel clients received far too much grease and drove too much of the development priority process, which resulted in projects that required huge time/resource investments but ended up being used by a tiny % of the client base.
- For the geographic location and job, salary was consistently below-market. Companies doing similar work in the same general geographic area were/are paying at least 20% more in several of the roles I held while at Paciolan.
- Some upper management personalities appear to have been entrenched in their roles for too long and are difficult to reason with
- Sale of the company to Comcast-Spectacor seems to have the company trending in a negative direction - it felt like we were getting ground down and that a lot of what made working at Paciolan appealing was slowly disappearing. The "this is great that we've been sold to Comcast!" thing is really getting shoved down people's throats.
