Well-made product, but management quality needs improvement

Pros

The product is well-made, and they’re actively working on developing new features.

Cons

The quality of management—from top management down to the front lines—is truly poor. Employee and team member satisfaction is low when it comes to management, planning, and decision-making.

leadership lacks accountability and innovation

Anonymous employee

Pros

- work life balance - work from abroad

Cons

- lack of accountability. There’s a wannabe ethos of move fast and break things, but you’ve got to move fast smartly. Leaders make bad decisions (expensive low roi customer conference, launching vaperware ‘agentic labs’ and a poor mans agentic offering) and none of those leaders are held accountable, it’s just the doers who were fired. - antiquated tech. The product output ie translation is best in class but it feels like a product designed from the 00s. The tech systems used by the employees also seems outdated and clunky. This is not an innovative scale up, it will feel like joining SAP - whiny Germans. Colleagues generally whine and complain about everything, that pessimistic attitude is a downer. - Robot CEO. Has a history of firing people or teams and not thinking he needs to manage the fallout and is somehow surprised when people are not ok with a major change. After a major layoff held an all hands where he talked roadmap and BAU and didn’t address the elephant in the room. Do you really need a leadership Coach to tell you, you have to sit through the slog of uncomfortable questions and emotional employees? You’re the CEO.
