All foam, no beer - Manager Evolent Employee Review

Upper management is clueless mostly. Promoted mostly through favoritism so you can imagine. All icing and no cake in what they're selling. Low client renewal rate as a result. Huge variance in experience level in management layer. Most of the leaders are only looking out for themselves. Very evident as they don't hesitate to run company to ground just for their own vested interests and promotion. Company is in a constant mess as a result. Still operate as 2 independent divisions and IT systems (Valence and Evolent). Constant ego issues between their leaders has led to chaos. Company direction keeps on changing. Appears all this chaos is man-made by select few leaders just to promote themselves. They are trying to launch into new areas without fully understanding complete picture. Under pressure and job security, teams build basic mundane solutions that's marketed heavily as new buckingham palace. Evolent brand has been tarnished very hard in recent years as a result. Clients don't renew and are all leaving. Management's full time job is to maintain charade. They don't hire experienced personnel as such for fear of being exposed and job insecurity.
