Corbis reviews

-Terrible upper management -Never consulted on anything with managers -Layoff everything 3 months - I worked for Corbis for 9 years. I believe in retaining employees not laying them off due to personal reasons just because you don’t like someones personality. Company should be investing in employee skills and retaining good people. To tell you the truth, last year or so after there is new management on board, only few handful of good people left in the company -Management doesn't solve problems -Poor senior leadership. Company doesn’t have any direction in web 2.0 -Office culture not that great. Cross group collaboration is missing -Website is not working. Technology infrastructure is 10 years old. -Untrustworthy management and senior management is secretive

Terrible upper management that (at a minimum) condones an environment heavy with secrecy, fear, and clubbiness, while playing the parts of 21st century champions of innovation and an egalitarian workplace. Think profound cognitive dissonance here: a huge gap between what they say and how things really are for most employees. Tough office politics for a company this size. Management rotates/reorganizes/re-strategizes every 2 years, continually demotivating the staff while searching for direction.
