Company Lacks Direction - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) WireWheel

A fast-paced company where you can wear a lot of hats and learn a lot of different skill sets. If you work hard, you are recognized by upper management, and they are profuse with their appreciation. Flexible time off and great health, dental and vision benefits. Exciting time to be with the company with the release of a new product.

It’s not for everyone—it takes a lot of hard work to get a new product off the ground, so you may be asked to take on more tasks than usual. But it is fulfilling to see big companies buying the product.

They used to do a good job hiring top talent but then the CEO drove them all away and are left with yesmen who just kowtow to his asks without actually implementing any sort of plan to accomplish them.

Once the CEO gets involved with your space, welcome to the kiss of death. He is a shoot first ask question later type of person who doesn't accept the constraints of reality. This leads to low morale, finger pointing, and a general loss of direction for all involved. And somehow, it will end up being your fault when the inevitable failure happens. Upper management just says they didn't know what the CEO was going to do.
