Absorb Software reviews about "upper management"

Upper management seems to keep secrets although they speak of transparency Communication between departments lacking but mostly from upper management to lower management there is a huge breakdown there and is probably the only cause of tension in the work place.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of changes once the company was acquired and new leadership took over, which left a very toxic work environment. Previous autonomy in roles was replaced with micro-managing, they LOWERED PAY in some roles (that were already well-below industry standards), there is now extremely high turnover so it's hard to build relationships, and anytime leadership is confronted about these issues, it seems like they always have a canned response ready that is completely disingenuous. At Absorb, it feels like you are just another number and if you are not in the top elite group of employees, you feel completely disposable. It makes people not want to work towards moving the company forward if they're never recognized or appreciated. There is a complete disconnect between upper management and lower level staff and no transparency in the organization. You see the same old song and dance when other companies are acquired and Absorb is no different.

I really enjoy my job. I'm always anticipating the next lead and look forward to growth and always being busier.

Upper management has a huge turnover lately

Diversity is an issue at the company. Racism seems to have the upper hand among a lot of people. White people will ALWAYS have the priority over others when promotions are considered, regardless of experience or competences. Some people just cannot help it and that is a fact. The number of non-white people who are in a top managerial role is... ZERO (NONE). The number of non-white people who are leading teams is one out of at least 12 teams and that one leads a crappy project that no one wants to lead. I've seen people leaving the company cause they did not get their chance simply because of their skin colour. Unfortunately, upper management does not recognize that all employees what keeps the company running and money coming in, and yet they're completely unsympathetic to the toxic work environment they've created. Some team leaders are better managers of the work than senior managers, which results in big variations in team cultures from one project to another. There is absolutely no room to voice concerns and anyone who does speak up or dares to have an opinion is labeled difficult and promptly targeted/pushed out. For a lot of people, no room for growth, lay-offs last year were unexpected. The senior management is disconnected from the other company and are especially dismissive of concerns. Neither of them deign to interact with anyone below their level, and internal communications from them are shameful and gross.

Demanding Constant changes Upper management is questionable at times
