How an organisational culture change can ruin a company - Anonymous employee AchieveForum Employee Review

Colleagues were very collaborative, the leaders were very open minded and transparent

The company was acquired by Korn Ferry

Collaborative atmosphere, everyone is always looking to brainstorm new solutions "Unlimited PTO" - may be gone now, I never had a chance to use more than a couple of days Very collegial atmosphere in the Boston Office, it was a great experience to come into work every day, before they trimmed the headcount down to keep only the employees who didn't work in the physical office

Lack of direction and strategy put the company in a terrible position before acquisition. The bidding process was dragged out across 8 months leaving everyone in doubts about their job security. Communication was minimal after the sale was announced (immediately before a global company retreat to Austin, TX) and we all knew we were gathering for the last time as a complete group. The last month before the sale was finalized, business ground to a halt, sales were flatlining, and no one was told if their jobs would be impacted until the day they were told to leave the premises. Most of the people in the Boston office spent our time day-drinking or leaving during the day, since there was no supervision or guidance. The last week before the sale, our directors actively avoided talking to us because they knew we were going to be terminated but couldn't say it.
