A company labouring under managers who are out of their depth. - Anonymous employee Contact Energy Employee Review

A complete inability to translate strategy statements into specific behavours to be exhibited by the various parts of the business. Upper managers and upper middle managers primarily concerned with managing upward. A number of managers who do not understand how parts of their business units deliver their capabilities. Poor or no career development. Little opportunity unless you are one of the chosen few. Deep divisions/silos between business units and within groups within business units (driven mostly by the lack of strategy implementation.). A management team that lacks authenticity (don't walk the talk). Inept implemention of SAP driven by an apparent Origin agenda. An HR department mostly focused on protecting the company from its own employees An IT department containing a complete breakdown of trust between those few remaining staff with technical capability and a set of naive IT managers to do not understand technology. A company struggling with the challenge of delivering a sustainable business.
