CentralSquare Outlook Employee Reviews

What makes you most happy at work?

I enjoy working remotely. It's a huge factor in my happiness. I also enjoy being trusted to do my job, without micromanagement. Those two things make me happy at work.

I really appreciate the opportunity to work in the public safety sphere.

Review from Operations Dept

That I am not micro managed. I am trusted to do the work that I need to do.

Review from IT Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Goals are extremely vague. Leadership doesn't take ownership for failure caused by poor planning.

Review from Engineering Dept

Too much work and not enough people

Review from Sales Dept

Being owned by Bain Capital is a huge negative. They are only concerned about the bottom line and not the employees. Take the company public and start awarding stock to the employees. Once they have a share of ownership, their attitudes will change tremendously.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Poor product quality leading to customers ditching the product

Review from Customer Support Dept

Too much turnover at executive levels constantly leading to process changes.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Too high a workload without options for effectively handling it.

Review from Customer Support Dept

I don't feel heard, the company only cares to hear feedback once a year with their Employee Engagement Survey and it takes them MONTHS (sometimes a year or longer) to actually see any action out of them. Also, when we find an issue, it is difficult to get anyone to accept fault so it can be remedied

Review from Finance Dept

Engineers should not do ANY work before a specification document has been approved. So much work is wasted when we start before this. There should also be a singular location for team specific, high quality trainings for new people.

Review from Engineering Dept

Customers are frustrated. The sales team sells products that aren't developed yet and don't have a clear way of identifying which products they should/shouldn't sell. Projects sold w/out enough milestone hrs. Changing systems very quickly (teams/slack, openair/ff, jira/azure) w/ out enough guidance.

Review from Customer Success Dept

The company seems to do a good job of gathering information from individual contributors but not a good job of implementing change.

Review from Engineering Dept

Better Pay for all the stress associated with the job

Review from Finance Dept

Career development would be nice. Also... just to be honest the "care" and "encouragement" people mention feels a bit forced and not entirely genuine.

Review from HR Dept

ELT and managers need to realize that their decisions affect people's lives.......especially our stress levels. Don't make rash decisions that require employees to instantly shift focus and put off other priorities that will still have to be done in a timely manner. Stress LITERALLY kills!

Review from Product Dept

There has not been much specified training to the team I have joined, so I am still unclear on how exactly the product works, how it functions, what our processes are to improve and implement that function, and how to excel in my position
