Optimistic, positive leadership, difficult in practice - Software Developer Merkle Employee Review

The enthusiasm of the top management doesn't translate well down at the implementation side. The skills, experience and ideas of top management never make it down to the shop floor through the various layers. It leaves people quite disillusioned. Encourages a lot of extra self-learning to progress your career, even if you don't want to. A lot of pressure on deadlines. A lot of backstabbing as people try to protect themselves. Management don't seem to understand when the people just below are clouding the real reasons why issues have occurred.
