When a senior sales leader says ‘we’re not quite the wild west’, I knew I had made a huge professional error. The commercial leaders run the company, having other leaders on puppet strings including the CEO who can’t stand up to them, and they do whatever they want. They are bad people pretending the are good. They run product too, they say they want something, product do it regardless if it’s a good decision or not. No processes unless it’s a PIP for unrealistic targets when you start, no development, the company doesn’t even have annual or bi annual performance reviews - you simply fill out some unaligned metrics and nothing happens. No manager appraisal meeting, no review of your performance - nothing. It’s an old boys club - no equity, no DEI in senior leadership - and yet you have people on the payroll earning astronomical money and deliver absolutely nothing to the business. Genuinely nothing. The toxicity is palpable, having to come in every day to work with these cretins is beyond soul destroying - you will not learn the right way to work, the only things I’ll take away is how not to do things. In short: senior leadership - a disgrace, pay and benefits - it’s ok, career development - minimal (a fund intent development - it’s money), people - there are good people outside of senior leadership
Senior leadership - a disgrace
Pay and benefits - it’s ok
Career development - minimal (a fund isn’t development - it’s money)
People - there are good people outside of senior leadership
