Pros

Very few positives left as new management has decimated the culture and gutted the workforce. Used to be a great place to work with fantastic people. Now the only positives are the five star reviews that Rhonda’s new hires and loyalists are posting to try to offset all the honest negative reviews.

Cons

Since the new CEO, Rhonda Bassett-Spiers was hired the company has gone through several rounds of deep layoffs and site closures, saying they were necessary to cut costs and prepare the company for sale. However, at the same time they are laying off critical employees and teams with deep industry and product knowledge they are hiring Rhonda’s former team from the last company they stripped, plus all their friends, with titles that seem to change monthly and no industry experience. Many of the employees left from “before “ Rhonda are either trying to hold on until the company is sold and Rhonda & team leave or are looking for new jobs before their fobs are the next ones turned off. Morale is truly horrible but the management team is trying to hide it with fake five star reviews on Glassdoor.

Pros

If you are looking to work at Telestream, please know the previous CEO Rhonda Bassett-Spiers is no longer with Telestream and normal great service has resumed with Dan Castles and the wonderful and experienced leadership team. After 20 months of hell the company is back to rebuilding and growing.

Cons

None now that Rhonda Bassett-Spiers has departed
