Related Company – “Walking on eggshells with too many cooks in the kitchen!”

Pros

Looks good on your resume. Top of the line development projects, the product practically sells itself!

Cons

Management's inability to communicate effectively with employees. Very minimal training, you're expected to 'just pick it up' with no room for trial and error. Building staff is great and staff as a whole will get each other through some tough spots in the learning curve but don't expect anything from management, not even a straight answer to a simple question! Lots of passive aggressive behavior from some in management staff. Management will throw you under the bus in a NY minute in an attempt to cover up their own incompetence. Management encourages an elitist attitude but the salary doesn't warrant this behavior.

Advice to Senior Management

Life doesn't have to be so miserable. Leave the personal stuff at the front door and arm your staff with the tools they need to succeed and positivity. Adults should always treat each other with respect, not like barbarians! Related is a great company but what's carrying it now is the quality of the product certainly not the people running it, who let emotion and personal opinion rule over logic.
