Strategically the company didn't seem to show any consistency and lacked the ability to see through plans. Financial planning was throughout my 3 years subject to wild swings. Ultimately what ended it for me was closing the San Diego office I worked in, as part of a grand plan to unite all the west coast offices into Mountain View. A month later they announced they were closing Mountain View and moving to San Frncisco. They have subsequent rented a large amount of office space in UTC, about 5 miles from where I previously worked. Looking back it wasn't much of a surprise. I witnessed Neustar gut the sales team, in a management initiative to cut costs (and experience) of the sales team that our business unit never really overcame. They also had a (consultant led) plan to streamline managent titles which ultimately pissed off a lot of people by taking away their titles but achieved nothing else. In my time I had 5 managers. I think the inability to hold onto middle mannagers was another major company failing My takeaway was a tone deaf senior management team that consistenyly wanted to interfere and never had the ability to make their choices work.
