Invest in the employees rather than hiring contractors to do everything
Despite the corporate culture of just hiring contractors, the real employees do care about the work they do.
The company has gone from being a great place to work to a below average cube farm. There are little to no perks of working at ACT and budgets keep shrinking...yet we keep finding millions of dollars to buy other companies.
The health insurance is average. The 401k match is average. The salaries are below average. The perks for employees are nonexistent unless you consider build your own Chex mix at the 60th anniversary party a perk...oh yeah, there was lemonade.
