Pros

Good people, decent benefits, alcohol is available to numb the pain. Nostalgic bad business practices from decades ago are guaranteed to make each day an adventure.

Cons

Management from the top down is comically inept. More middle management than clients. No possibility of a long term career because most would lose their jobs if someone was paying enough attention. If the clients knew a fragment of the issues - there would be lawsuits flying and the company would cease to exist. Everyone knows how poorly the company is run except the CEO apparently. The smallest amount of scrutiny would reveal the chaotic and illogical operations of people who are in over their heads and have to fake their value to stay employed. The product has yet to be delivered and fully functional for any of the US sites. Internal tools and processes are less effective than going back to paper. Documentation is outdated at best and cost cutting extends to using external USB hard drives and disaster recovery is not a priority. And Security? What security? This is the house of 'password' as a password. The company boasts of an Open and Friendly environment but those words seem to have a different meaning in Auckland.

Foster Moore Response
8y
At Foster Moore, we have an open and friendly workplace and welcome feedback on our company's culture and best practices. We hold ourselves to high standards in executional excellence and personal accountability. We are all about our people, they are our greatest asset, and expect the same commitment from them to Foster Moore and our clients. It is critical that we have the right people in the right role and it sounds like we weren't the right match. Unfortunately, this review goes beyond expression of an honest opinion or truthful facts, as Glassdoor requests. It contains a few untruths, perhaps due to Foster Moore's acquisition of a former competitor company. In any event, our product is delivered and fully functional in 21 business registries internationally, 4 in US states/territories.
