Clueless management, truly awful communication

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice offices, (generally) friendly colleagues, interesting products

Cons

Very political, which means that obstructive / incompetent staff on friendly terms with the upper ranks is kept on while efficient, motivated staff are being let go to make the budget look better. No evident strategy, truly TRULY awful communication where essential information needs to be gleaned from snippets picked up somewhere in the hallways.
