Pros

Brand new building with awesome amenities. Full benefits offered.

Cons

I use to Love Jive and everything it stood for. I could have spent the rest of my life working for Jive. And now, sadly they are a shell of who they once were. I loved the (CEO), what an amazing man with a huge heart who treated everyone of his employees like true family. Somewhere along the way after selling the company to LogMeIn he lost all compassion and wisdom for the people who put their sweat and tears into the company for him. I still think there is a great man in there somewhere but he is simply just doing his last couple years via his contractional obligation after the sell. With any “take over” there are lots of changes. I understood this and held on as long as I could hoping things to get better. After many months and the horrible conditions in which management was treating people I decided to resign. Before giving up; me along with many others, professionally addressed the bad treatment to Jive’s original CEO, VIP’s and even LogMeIn corporate offices in Boston. The refusal to do anything about the conditions in the end was my cue to walk away with tears in my eyes. Tears for such an amazing company that had sold its soul.

Pros

There were a lot of good, hard-working people at Jive. Jive was also very good at giving people chances and opportunities to grow. I was able to transition to the Development dept. as a junior despite not having any previous professional coding experience under my belt at the time. The benefits are definitely a plus.

Cons

Many of the good, hard-working people at Jive were let go without any real notice. Jive continues trying to push forward with new platforms and features without getting what they have fully stable. While working in Tech Support, we were constantly having to talk with extremely angry customers who were upset due to the constant disruptions in service. It all could have been avoided if Jive had slowed down enough to get their feet under them again instead of focusing on continually doubling their revenue every year. Many other poor executive decisions have been made, including letting go the entire UA team. Poor decision making, training and lack of communication are Jive's biggest problems. When I was the quality assurance over Technical Solutions, I was constantly being told different things by different supervisors. When trying to ask for further guidance or help on instructing the techs about all the new policies and procedures, I would get vague answers, when management would even respond to my questions at all.
