Pros

There’s some talented colleagues on the sales teams. CEO is open and communicates well but increasingly seems like he’s not up to the task.

Cons

Real lack of clear strategy. Unbelievably high turn over at a senior level. A lot of infighting amongst functions. Huge amount of money spent on external consultants that don’t have industry experience. Weak culture and bloated middle management.

Culture needs to change

Pros

Used to be more flexible and people-first, but those benefits are long gone. Some great talents here that are a pleasure to work with.

Cons

There is a mix of toxic culture and poor management. Leadership do not lead, and managers do not seem to care about their people. It often leaves you feeling valueless and demotivated. Lots of positive narrative on growth, diversity, etc but they do not seem to be practiced.
