Pros
Good facilities and company looks after staff well with fun social activities, good kick offs and decent packages and benefits.
Cons
I really don’t like the new management culture here, we used to be a great team and live the culture in the office every day, the atmosphere was work hard, play hard and everyone contributed their share of effort. It was hard work, but also an enjoyable place to be, it was an environment that we worked very hard in the past to build. Now, there seems to be a vacuum of facts, we have a dictatorial leader here in EMEA , who does not have the true emotional buy in of the staff. Its like its all make believe. Staff do what they are told, don’t contribute ideas, innovation or put their heart and soul into the company, because they are afraid of the repercussions and the ridiculing from this leader. Everyone seems to be acting, in order just to keep their job out of fear. There is no trust, it makes me angry that such a great little business is now such a hollow entity. I see sales people just going through motions that don’t make sense to them, I see marketing people, who are normally the life a soul, subdued. His practises are not adopted, he indoctrinates them, but the worst of it is he delegates their implementation to others to do his dirty work, in fact his work in general We have lost excellent employees with badly needed skills, not because they could not be successful, but because they just don’t like working in this environment and don’t like having to act in a way that is not aligned to their morals. We also need to do better in hiring, as presently the autocratic and patronising way this leader presents himself and the company is not helping to hire new great people.
