Pros

Work life balance is amazing.

Cons

Core business model severely impacted – The company has been hard hit by the AI revolution. Both product lines — SWP and LMR — can now be replicated largely in-house using AI tools at a fraction of the cost. Leadership problem – While the former CEO left much to be desired, the new CEO is no different. We view him as part of the problem, not the solution. He previously headed the Product function — the very area where the company has most visibly failed — and yet he now sits in the CEO chair. Is there a logic behind the decision ? No. Is this the culture of TN? Yes. Competency problem – Many leaders are managing domains they have no prior experience in. It becomes a playground for on-the-job learning, and while they find their footing, the competition pulls ahead. Short career spans – A high volume of senior-level exits occurs around the one to two year mark, creating a recurring leadership vacuum that drives degrowth — yet no one seems bothered. A hire n fire culture is the norm, and there is no discernible logic to the layoffs. Ironically, this is the one area where TN remains perfectly consistent. Discrimination and racism – Rules are applied inconsistently depending on region or other factors. It is common to see top performers pushed out while poor performers are promoted. Lack of transparency – The organisation talks extensively about transparency and feedback but does not walk the talk. Feedback is rarely acted upon, yet it surfaces as a topic on every other call.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for the years you have invested in TalentNeuron. I appreciate that you recognize our commitment to work-life balance. Creating an environment where people can do meaningful work while maintaining balance remains important to us. I also want to acknowledge the concerns you've raised. While not everyone will experience the organization in the same way, feedback like this deserves thoughtful consideration. The topics you mention (strategy, leadership decisions, career development, transparency, consistency, and inclusion) are important conversations that should never be dismissed. Periods of transformation can create uncertainty, and there is no question that our industry is being reshaped by AI and evolving client expectations. We are actively navigating those changes while working to build a stronger future for both our employees and our clients. One of the things I encourage everyone to remember is that culture is not something that happens to us; it is something we create together. If you see opportunities for improvement, I hope you will continue to raise your voice and help shape the organization you want to be part of. Meaningful change requires both leadership commitment and community engagement. I am particularly concerned by your comments regarding discrimination and inconsistent treatment. We take those concerns seriously. Every employee deserves to work in an environment where they are treated fairly, respectfully, and with dignity. If you are currently with the company, I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly. My *door* is always open and I genuinely want to hear your perspective, understand your experience, and discuss ways we can continue improving. Constructive feedback is most valuable when it leads to dialogue and action. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and for caring enough about TalentNeuron to provide candid feedback. Kind regards, Kerry (Chief People Officer)

Pros

The marketing team is upbeat, supportive, and makes meetings enjoyable. Cross-collaboration runs smoothly and other departments are willing to pitch in where they can.

Cons

There is so much product development/M&A-induced change/innovation that additional hats must be worn and role responsibilities are in flux.

Pros

The company has understandably struggled with the transition from a legacy transactional data business to a strategic AI/SaaS platform offering. This transition is hard and requires rewiring of both GTM and corporate execution, which, to the point of other reviews on here, hasn't been as well-led or executed as it could have been. That said, there is a passion and eagerness to get this right, learn from mistakes, and invest in the team. The product itself is a potential game-changer, and the product and sales teams have gained significant momentum around it. The recent change in CEO is a strong signal both internally and externally that we are committed to getting this right, and since this move, the business has rallied in a way I think most would say they've not seen from TN in the past in terms of energy, positivity, and actually getting meaningful work done on our biggest gaps as a business. It feels like what should have happened last year is actually happening this year, which makes this an exciting time and a place where one can have a large impact. From my perspective, our current exec team cares about the success of the business and our people, and is more engaged than ever in making sure that is felt. Hopefully this continues!

Cons

There are still some leftover culture detractors who are stuck in the old TN mindset and are not bringing the positive energy to the business that it deserves/needs. These individuals need to either join the movement or leave. Our corporate team members don't always view their role as sales enablers. Lots of chunky "Gartner-days" processes that work against GSD fast.
