Unhealthy fear driven culture and dim prospects for a successful IPO - Don’t believe the hype - Sales Representative C3 AI Employee Review

This response is provided by Jim Hassman - C3.ai General Manager of North America West Sales: I am a sales executive at C3.ai and have worked at the company for more than 10 years. I usually don’t take it upon myself to rebut people on social platforms. However, I feel another perspective to this post is warranted. I have had a very different experience than the individual here. Here is my perspective on each comment. *** Before I joined C3.(insert latest trend) I heard mostly good things about the company, mostly from the propaganda that they publish and feed the media. *** I’ve had many great experiences at C3.ai. The people who work here are smart and dedicated. The customers are large, global enterprises with very challenging, complex problems. The work we do is hard, but effective. Our technology has solved, and will continue to solve, high-value problems that benefit both the customer and stakeholders in the industries in which we work. The use of the word “propaganda” – information intended to mislead – is one person’s perspective, but does not fit what I’ve seen in my time here. I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone that all companies share the best of what they have to offer publicly, but I would not label it as propaganda. *** It’s only after I joined that it became apparent how dysfunctional the organization really is. *** It’s also common that levels of dysfunction exist in any organization. No person or company is perfect. Have I seen or experienced dysfunction at C3.ai? Yes. Did I see it at former companies where I worked? Yes. Do I see it in other settings in my life? Yes. Some level of dysfunction is normal. It is caused by people and people’s reaction to their environments. However, I’ve never seen a company in my career accomplish so much in so little time, regardless of any degree of dysfunction. It’s how we each respond to dysfunction that separates good companies from bad ones. *** It’s a fear driven culture from the top. *** The company is an outcome driven culture. Expectations are very high...... To read the entire response, please click here: https://d3ffer8gq6olw4.cloudfront.net/Glass+Door/Glassdoor+Post+Response+10.01.2020.pdf
