Appspace Reviews

I used to work at Igloo Software and I am glad I have moved onward to a new company. I was browsing the reviews, and saw the response given by an HR BP - the traditional HR 'in-the-box' response. **Before change can be happen and perhaps it begin within HR ?? Maybe an awakening can begin, so read the following below: - HR people seem to take the company's side in any interaction, never the employee's side. - HR staff members are not impartial or fair. Their desire to keep their jobs, and earn a bigger salary and their next promotion, keep them from acknowledging the legitimate employee point of view. - HR people stand idly by while incompetent executives, get promoted. - HR people often spout policy instead of actively getting involved to remove roadblocks their employees face. - HR people are not viewed as trustworthy, even though they say, "Tell me what's on your mind!" - HR people often "know HR" but don't know anything about the business they work for. - HR people are seen as political and more concerned with their own place in the company's pecking order than with the welfare of the team. - HR people talk more about policies, benefits and other announcements than they talk about culture, fear, trust, conflict or any of the million human issues that arise in every organization. - HR people often have trouble seeing the "human side" of any issue, from a time-off request to a variation in a pay-grade or a hiring issue, focusing instead on keeping every process uniform and exception-free. - HR people should be Ministers of Culture in their organizations, BUT exists only to protect the company. Any protection of a person/employee/salary slave is a random by-product of protecting the company (aligned with a process).

CEO is a con man and the cause of all the internal problems. Dan mocks and insults every person in the company(using words Glassdoor would ban me for). He screams like a child during meetings because nothing is ever good enough. He is the cause for huge turnover and lost sales. Then, because the product can’t scale, he insults and screams at everyone. Igloo life is spent on a pathetic and unnecessary goal: how do we avoid being yelled at by this sociopath? You only survive if you can sit there and take verbal punishment, swearing at and insulting you. Insults are also passed to clients who “stupid” for wanting software that is modern. To make this even worse, Dan acts as if he is the CEO ABOVE ALL, a gift to man. Instead he’s a short little man over-compensating by telling everyone, “I’M THE CEO”. 99% of my coworkers were miserable and planning on leaving as soon as possible. Please read all reviews. All five star reviews read like advertisements. Then, look at the numerous one star reviews which repeat the same theme. Dan is cancer.
