Higher Logic

More accurately I should say that our tagline of "all together" means that we're miserable altogether.The c suite is more concerned with making the business saleable than making sure that the product works or that the customers are happy. And to be fair I should say that the most current CEO legitimately tries, but he inherited the staff that has no interest in being professional. Employees are siloed and pitted against each other, the pay scale is low, there have been reports of inappropriate behavior and harassment within the company, and most of upper management drinks heavily even in front of clientsclients

I enjoyed interning with higher logic. My manager was friendly, and did not micromanage. Still, he was always available to give me on the fly help when I was stuck with something. The office environment was very youthful, and as long as employees were productive, they were allowed to enjoy themselves. The office now has a hoverboard. I believe free and light environments have positive effects on productivity.

Every company goes through changes, and we are definitely in that stage still after 4 acquisitions in one year (2017). You need to be able to adapt or get left behind because there is a lot of change and movement with management and organizing/re-organizing several times. Pretty much an entire new Executive team, which for the most part, should help with growth and aligning things more effectively. 
However, it's going to take some time and who knows if it is all just for another big sell in the end.

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is not much to say here.  This was not a great company. Employees come and go, layoffs, constant HR personal evaluations interrupt business and chaos. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of training, finger pointing, poor feedback

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile.  Not fun.  Whose in next round of layoffs?

Be careful if you decide to go here.  Not in a good spot.  Nearly entire C Level was replaced a couple months back.  They'll roll out Best Places to Work Award, but that was a loooong time ago and in a much different environment.  New management seems to be turning this place into a churn and burn shop.  Micromanagement to an extreme.  Just closed the Mesa office.  Long-term prospects don't look good.

Great Cloud-based Online Community Software company recognized as an industry leader in the association space.  

Industry leaders who are experts in member and customer engagement, collaboration, communications, and retention strategies for numerous industries.

As a first time start up in Mesa, AZ, the employees at that office were kept in the dark from all updates, almost irrelevant to the HQ in Virginia.  Not a good place to work and ended up closing that office with out anyone's knowledge or time to find new jobs.

My favorite part of working here was the relationships that I built with my association clients and other coworkers. I have been with the company for almost eight years and it was wonderful to have lasting client relationships.

Overall very good impression of Higher Logic.  They seem to value their employees, offering great benefits, employee social events, free snacks/coffee. They have a very nice office space.

Do not work here if you care about working for ego-free co-workers. Too many acquisitions.
Grunt work masked as real software development.
Too many moving parts. 
No clear vision or direction.
