Pros

If the management problem (lack of) could be rectified, TechAmerica could be a great place to work. The technology realm is exciting and full of great potential -- but as an association without leadership -- it's currently just drifting along.

Cons

Most of their national offices have been shuttered. They shrank from a total of 120 down to 30 or so employees with more reductions expected. Many association offerings have been eliminated or significantly downsized, disappointing many of the member companies. Unfortunately plenty of low morale among remaining staff, with most looking for career opportunities elsewhere. Meanwhile executive leadership is trying to make-up for the personnel shortage with plenty of college interns to fill staffing needs. Hopefully the association will pull through.

Pros

I joined this organization because I believed in it's mission and what management presented to me as fact. I was told two years ago that TechAmerica was sound financially, was the leading tech policy group in the country, and was greatly respected within the industry. This ALL turned out to be completely false.

Cons

I have been in the workforce for only 8 years since graduating college, but I have never experienced a company (directly or indirectly) that was more poorly managed. The CEO, Shawn Osborne, was the worst executive and leader imaginable. He had absolutely no clue whatsoever on how to treat employees or members, and completely ruined any chance of TechAmerica surviving. He lost most of our top members and staff because of his poor leadership, lack of vision and experience.
