Incredible product, not the right strategy or culture to take advantage of the opportunity - Anonymous employee Aera Technology Employee Review

*Truly horrendous culture, driven by the CEO and CRO. The CRO especially has wild mood swings, leaving you forever in anxiety as to which version of him you are going to get. It is not motivating. I know first-hand that several people left as a result of him. People live in perennial fear of being humiliated at QBRs. The CEO has surrounded himself with ‘yes’ men. Questioning the strategy or messaging is actively discouraged. *All male board, management team is almost entirely male (0 out of 8 most senior people are female). Horrendous lack of diversity. This shows through in group think and the company culture. *Lack of adaptability. Despite the company not hitting objectives for several years, there has been very little change in strategy or approach. There is barely even recognition of the situation. Success is always 6 months away. *Not a learning culture. If you make a mistake (or even are just perceived to make a mistake), you are made an example of in front of peers and told you are doing a bad job rather given support & guidance to improve.
