InMobi reviews about "middle management"

Middle Management lacks vision and are very narrow minded

1. Poor middle management resulting in attrition of good employees 2. Favoritism and politics resulting in more power in the hands of a few corrupt people 3. Although almost everyone in the company knows and acknowledges what needs to be improved but things never get done

Middle management can deter your growth

Slow middle management. Slowing turning to an enterprise company.

1. Too much dependence on consumer-centric business (glance) is not the best plan. It can become a single point of reputational and hence economic failure. 2. Becoming overly top-heavy lately. Too many orgs created to keep some people at the top busy. On the ground, it means there are too many cooks for the same dish. 3. Core of InMobi was its culture which is no longer the case. It has become a "shut up, head down and work" company like some Indian service-based companies. "Executive orders" have been carried out recently that did not add up nicely from the employee's perspective. (example of #3 - back to the office plan. WFH was considered ineffective even though the company had its best quarter to date in the pandemic and better numbers overall. Also, no increments because of cost-cutting, but renting more office space and supplies to accommodate the returning workforce) PS: I personally do not mind B2O. But not all people appreciate having to travel for 2 hours a day at their own cost in BLR traffic. Add that to the insane house rents for people who had to move back to the city. With no hikes and inflation - it's a double whammy for the employee and their families.

Middle management is totally screwed up,HRs have no clue what they are doing.they feel like govt jobs

lots of dirty polities at middle management

1 . Very unethical company and especially the top management. Earlier they had promised that those who will stay in Inmobi from 2014 to 2016, you will get a car but they didn't give. The CEO gave some stupid reason and told the company will give the money in next 2 years divided equally in 8 installments. But there is a catch that if you leave in between, you wont get the money. So essentially they converted 3 years retention bonus to 5 years retention bonus. 2. No Transparency: Since last 2 years they are delaying the appraisals from January to April. We don't get any official communication or reason for delay whatsoever. 3. Good people are leaving since there is no clarity of work and people are not believing the company's idea any more. 4. Our beloved CEO has found a mantra to make the company profitable which is A-B, where A is revenue and B is running cost. Instead of increasing A, they are only focused on decreasing B, and in order to do so they are letting good people go. 5. Arrogant and undeserving middle management: At Inmobi, they is a great parity issue. You can find engineering managers with overall 7 years or less experience. Anyone can become EM, architect easily.

- Middle management does not hold the same values as the c-suite as it is profit-driven - Has to be visible, closely work with management and seen for your projects and efforts for you to be promoted - Keeps on having organization structures and only put few keep people in place and power while others stay status quo - Management and culture in India is better than other offices
