Horrible culture and leadership

Anonymous

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The perks are probably as good as it gets. Nice office space, massages once a week, company trip, catered lunches everyday and outings after work.

Cons

Everything... the culture is very toxic. Lack of diversity and lack of leadership. The MD/Leadership doesn’t do much but sit around and let the people and place perish.

Employees are depressed, micromanaged and anxious

Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing - Just a paycheck and they make you feel you should be happy to have a job. Run if you can!

Cons

A toxic leadership and upper management which have created a toxic environment. The upper management does not care about the soldiers who fight the fire everyday. They have their own agenda and do not care about the needs of the people under them. Employees are depressed, micromanaged and anxious. If you are smart and talented please stay away from this company, they will chew you up and spit you out.

Inconsistent and hostile management style

Software developer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The management team at this organization understood that micromanagement is not an effective leadership strategy, and instead cshose to foster a culture of trust and autonomy and among employees.

Cons

The CEO's inconsistent and hostile management style was drive by greed, treating employees as mere means to an end. It was unprofessional, appalling, and showed a complete lack of empathy towards the team. The way he treated us was demeaning and it was hard to work under such hostile conditions.
