Dedicated employees, disconnected leadership - Anonymous employee Spire Global Employee Review

Senior leadership often felt absent from day-to-day operations and disconnected from the challenges faced by employees. The culture could feel highly political and at times cut-throat, with a strong focus on protecting reputations rather than understanding root causes when problems occurred. Accountability was not always applied consistently, and there was a perception that blame was often pushed downwards rather than leadership taking ownership of organisational issues. Many employees regularly worked long hours, weekends, and went above and beyond to deliver demanding programmes, yet loyalty and recognition did not always feel reciprocated. Frequent changes in direction, poor communication, and limited employee engagement contributed to low morale and trust.
