Pros
- In my early time at the company, I worked alongside genuinely talented and ambitious people. Unfortunately, by the time I left, most of them had moved on.
Cons
- The company went through significant layoffs that came as a surprise to most employees, with little prior communication that reached most employees. Organisational culture noticeably deteriorated afterward. - The level of employee turnover was the highest I have witnessed in my entire career. - The company lacked a consistent long-term strategy. Direction shifted frequently, sometimes week to week, making it very difficult to set or achieve meaningful goals. - Contributions from non-sales teams were rarely recognised or acknowledged. The culture felt heavily tilted toward rewarding one team at the expense of others. - Despite being a relatively small organisation, it operated in very siloed ways. Cross-team communication was minimal, and different teams often appeared to be pulling in conflicting directions. - Senior leadership was difficult to access, with limited transparency around performance expectations, accountability, or strategic direction. - In my experience, the Deputy CEO created a consistently hostile and abrasive work environment. Interactions I experienced were at times belittling and demeaning. Raising concerns about this behaviour was met with hostility rather than engagement. I was not alone in this, multiple colleagues shared similar experiences. When these concerns were escalated to the leadership team, the response was to blame those raising them and fall back on the recurring phrase "maybe this is not the right place for you" rather than addressing the issues raised. In my view, this reflected not just an individual problem but a broader cultural failure at the leadership level.
