Strong Technology, Poor Leadership

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great technology with market leading cloud management.

Cons

Poor local leadership and real lack of transparency to team members. No team culture and no effort to improve this. Recent redundancies used as scapegoats by management for poor performance and handled with no integrity or decency. Cliques forming within the UK team.
