A wonderful roller coaster ride of huge ups and even bigger downs! - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Intermap Technologies

Family-like work environment. Excellent working opportunity. Very friendly people to work and grow with.

No cons I can think of.

Coworkers were some of the best people I've ever worked with.

Oy where to start. Thanks to successive CEO's with idiotic, dismally failed business plans the company is 10's of millions in debt from ridiculous plans to turn the company into a "software" company. Those plans only succeeded in wasting millions of dollars, wasting a huge amount of effort and getting a bunch of people laid off without much to show for it. Fortunately it looks like the new CEO (Patrick) is making headway getting the company back in the black or at least near the black anyway but how do companies' do that the quick way? They start chopping heads of course. The real problem is that there are several dead weight lifers that have been with the company for decades who have no idea how to build or run a successful company and yet they are tasked with running the company day to day. These guys need to be put out to pasture so some new blood can get the company into the 21st century because the old guys are holding it back. How you ask? Managing the employees like it's 1979 and they don't have any other options. Case in point: After the IT department spent months and hundreds of man hours moving the company off WXP and onto W7 one of the lifers said "we have to move everyone back to XP!" Yea uh NO. Another case in point: Many employees went 3 or 4 years without a raise, ANY raise. At least in the Denver area that amounted to pay cuts for several years in a row. The next case in point: All the computers of the workers who actually NEED some serious computing power are junk dual-core models that were purchased in 2007 or 2008. Yes, you read that right the “workstations” in a technology company were actually purchased while GW was still in office. Of course the execs have spiffy new laptops so they can check their email. And saving the best for last: Another one of the lifer senior managers made the employees in one group GIVE UP vacation time anticipating a project that, of course in typical Intermap fashion, never materialized. Yes that actually happened. A senior manager made a group of employees actually dump vacation time for NOTHING. Nothing says you’re valued as employees than being treated as children who can’t be trusted then having to dump vacation time and wreck family plans on short notice. If by some miracle you're reading this because the company is hiring ask yourself if you really want to work for a company that treats it's employees like this? Probably not.
