Poor management and constant instability hinder growth - Senior Software Engineer MessageGears Employee Review

Really good culture and very talented team

Manager team and C suite can be heavy handed

there are good benefits, thats about it.

The previous CEO (who was recently pushed) out left behind a toxic culture, and while the new CEO has had an opportunity to clean house and steer the company in the right direction, little to nothing has improved, with more clients churning than ever. Leadership remains disorganized and out of touch. Decisions are reactive instead of strategic, leading to constant churn and wasted effort. Zero transparency. Employees are left in the dark about the company’s direction or their roles within it along with being consistently over worked to try and salvage the mess that's been created. Morale is at an all-time low. High performers are leaving in droves, and those who stay are burned out or disengaged. Questionable financial health and a shrinking client base make it feel like the company is circling the drain. While I would be happy to give advice to management, it would not be valued or listened to, as I have seen throughout my tenure. To give the cliff notes of my message, MessageGears is going nowhere FAST!
