Software engineer - Software Engineer Michael Management Employee Review

Remote, was great place to work

Now owned by a large VC

The clients! Working with them was always the best. Before new leadership. I would have said my team. We worked well together, We all put our heads down to tackle challenges and were always advancing through creative and forward-thinking strategies. Leadership was receptive and welcomed innovation.

I worked at Michael Management under both the previous and new leadership. While the company once had a strong foundation, the acquisition and subsequent leadership changes significantly impacted the company's culture and direction. The new leadership team, particularly CEO Colin Ridlon, introduced a leadership style characterized by inconsistent communication and a departure from the company's core vision. Employees instrumental to the company's pre-acquisition success were unexpectedly terminated without adequate compensation for their contributions. This abrupt treatment underscored a disregard for employees as valued contributors and demonstrated a focus on short-term gains over long-term company health. These actions resulted in decreased employee morale and overall company performance. It is evident that the new leadership's strategies have not aligned with the company's long-term goals.
