      Great Software poor leadership

      Feb. 2, 2023 - Technical Account Specialist in Montreal, QC
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Salary is competitive, culture tries to promote inclusion in terms of gender, race, etc.

      Cons

      HR is not active in providing help and solutions. It is an automated system and when you do ask for personal guidance they do not provide solutions but suggest that you use Bravely a company supplied life coaching service. Employee voice and input is limited to a survey once a quarter, the results of which do not seem to have impact. Managers do not understand the products and have no technical experience which makes the performance review awkward since they do not understand the work you do, Promotions seem very limited as they tend to hire from external sources so as a employee you do get stuck in the same role year after year.
