CEO for US based company out of Columbia, SC poisons the business from the top down.
Pros
The techs and laborers doing the actual work are some of the best people you will ever work with.
Cons
The CEO is an angry, arrogant, and spiteful person. He provides zero guidance and spends his time attacking and slandering his employees at all levels of the small company of less than 30 people. The term, “Public flogging” has been used often. This company is based in Columbia, SC and improperly has a 3 star rating because of the parent company in Italy. All the 1 star ratings are for the US based company and can be directly attributed to the CEO. For anyone being considered for the VP/Program Manager role my advice is: run. The CEO is the kind of psychopath who will lure you in seeming completely friendly and amiable and then one day a switch will flip and he will be your worst nightmare. You will constantly be attacked for failing to meet expectations that were kept secret from you. You won’t be trained and you’ll be working through a minefield laid by past disgruntled employees. This company of less than 30 people recently hired more than 20 people but lost even more. The turnover is that bad and again, it all points back to the CEO. His behavior has paralyzed the Exec team. If you are the one to push back against his behavior like me you will become his number one target.
