Incoherent Management - Manager Recommind Employee Review

These are the smartest people I've ever worked with. I work remotely, but from the day I first started, people were kind, mostly helpful, and wanted me to succeed. Today, there is a much better training program than when I started several years ago. The company continues to perfect its eDiscovery offerings, and the marketing programs support our efforts. It's a complex sale, but the company surrounds us with resources to help us succeed.

Senior management changes focus too rapidly. For the size of the company, we are way too compartmentalized. Too many approvals needed to sell basic deals. Not enough eDiscovery services expertise in senior management--mostly enterprise software backgrounds.

Great view located in the heart of the San Francisco Financial District. Free coffee. A few really smart people still left at the company.

No clear direction or end-game in sight for all the pivoting of vision that is going on. This is troubling to see in a 15 year old company - not a startup folks! Huge ambition, but nothing else backing that up - including funding. Attrition is high due to rounds of "reorganization" and due to skilled personnel moving on to greener pastures. Why is it that everyone else in Silicon Valley is in a hiring frenzy, while Recommind is actually shedding employees? Everyone is overloaded and wearing multiple hats. There is very much a blame culture within the organization globally, with everyone working to protect their own backsides instead of trying to work together to accomplish the goal. There is a lot of corporate bullying to get one's way, and the lower you are on the totem pole, the more crap that will come down on you.
