Advice to Senior Management

Stop looking in the rearview mirror to justify existence in the marketplace. There was never a transition from the LogicaCMG model; just a new label that can be compared to putting lipstick and blush on a warthog to make it presentable to investors. This company tries to pass off "Atari 2600" products and services when new ideas of the 21st century are cast off to outsourced oblivion. People are not "man-hours"; the employees are sooo much more than a line item on an SOW. Past success is just that; in the past. Understand that Acision's reputation is tarnished and new leadership is required across the board to regain some assemblance of a positive outlook. I've worked in this industry/sector for 20+ years and this is by far the most stressful and unrewarding job of them all. There were individuals who actually had to be hospitalized because of the environment created under poor management. It's time for the VC's to cut their losses and run for the hills!!!

Pros

Great team environment
Colleagues very supportive
Opportunity for international travel

Cons

At the heart of it, a bad business decision to outsource a core function of the company to an incompetent supplier has caused this company to spiral out of control.

Coupled with senior management who have a short-sighted and blinkered view and no idea what they are doing and are living in denial of what is happening and what needs to be done to fix it and are happy to go down with a sinking ship.

Chronic shortage of the right resources to do the job. DUMB business decision that has removed all risk from the third party and taken on all business transformation/transition risk and on individuals who are expected to perform miracles.

Lack of clear, strong leadership and evidence of miserable employees resulting in multiple resignations every week.

If you are considering working for Acision, STAY AWAY. You will end up wasting your time.
