Pros

My initial impression was very positive. A friendly staff with an open- minded CEO seemed ideal my first week or so. I would so learn these negative reviews were here for a reason.

Cons

No one is on the same page and their consultants have to pay for it. Leadership might seem polite and supportive but that's all an act to cover themselves. Bosses discuss these "new directions" the organization is taking but you'll never see them because Windward refuses to change their out dated ways.

Our goal always is to provide all the support for our staff to be successful and I cannot think of any company where employee failure is acceptable. The time and effort on both the company and employee’s part is just too high to expect anything less than success. However, sometimes these decisions don’t work and the relationship isn’t a good fit, to no fault of anyone (employee or company). Sometimes a person is hired for a specific job with a very important Windward partner. There is never a “bait and switch” and as CEO, I personally met many times staff working with our Partner to outline expectations and provide assistance for them to be successful. We try hard to give staff all the support we can. For example, in this case providing an extra two months to learn the technology, but sometimes people are unable to succeed. This negative review is disheartening, stating that leadership is only “covering themselves” and that we hire under false pretenses – all patently untrue. Sometimes we make mistakes in hiring someone not the right fit for the position and we are actively looking at ways to improve this in the future. However, sometimes people have to take personal responsibility too.
