Pros

They are excited about growth in the managed services market. Management and HR appeared open to feedback. They are developing a fairly comprehensive process and tool set ... still needs to mature.

Cons

Lack of real communication down to employees providing the support to clients. Lack of coordination between management levels creating policies and those providing tools to supply services. Lack of coordination between implementing/building vision and long term support of current products and how the employees supporting those products are going to meet job requirements. Lack of communication in how the company is going to include all employees. Lack of follow-through in communicating changes to employees. Company has many projects that are bigger than they currently have experience to complete.

Pros

The people are some of the best and like family. We care a lot about our teams and our customers. There are good leaders here but it has just become too hard for us to lead the way they want to.

Cons

Executive Leadership, especially the CEO. The culture has changed a lot since he replaced the former CEO. He does not operate with the same values that have been a part of the company ever since I got here. He rules by fear, control, micromanagement, and is unapproachable. You can see it in meetings with the business and even in our Company meetings. It is uncomfortable. He has started only bringing people in from his former network and they are bringing in their friends. Everything is India focused and North America people are losing their jobs and those that are left are burned out from the excessive workload. We are watching good employees leave either on their own or because they are forced out. The optics of who is leaving and why are not good. I want this to work but it feels like a sinking ship at this point. Our customers aren't even happy with us anymore and that makes our jobs even harder.
