Greene Tweed reviews

Seasoned professionals should stay away. There are more managers than engineers. This company is very bureaucratic for its size. It is its own worst enemy. Innovation is at 15 year low. Owners have brought a new CEO to make this company more profitable. He has been on a cutting spree. Layoffs are in full swing and entire departments have evaporated. Morale is low. The so called senior leadership team (STL) are a clueless bunch of people. They do not know how to make this business grow. They have changed business strategy more than 6 times while I was there. The lack of accountability by the owners have embolden these people to run up the expenses. After years of spending millions, they have very little to show for which is of commercial value. These days, they are too scared to invest into the business due to increased scrutiny by the CEO. After working here for a while, you realize that your career choices are limited. The bad apples hold you down. They don't want to work with you to improve the culture. Organization charts are frowned upon. These bad apples don’t want others to find out who does what in the organization. If you come up with new ideas and your team is on your side, the SLT won’t approve of any spend because of increased scrutiny by the CEO. It's a vicious cycle and in the end without solid growth initiatives and new projects in the pipeline, good employees leave, and this company will stay stagnant.

This company has done a complete 180 degree turn over the last 2 years. HR absolutely runs the show, and not in a good way. I have never seen a business bog itself down as bad as Greene Tweed with it's own internal politics. HR is literally in the middle of everything, and insist on forcing unqualified business advice to management on a consistent basis. The culture used to be very innovative, and employees were rewarded for taking risks. Now senior management are all scared to death for their jobs due to the new CEO, who seems to think all American labor is crap. The turnover rate was astonishingly high, and I blame that on the recruiting team being a group of very good sales people. I have never been a part of an organization with so much potential, and then see implode as fast as it seems to have done. The competition are literally hiring all of the good talent away from Greene Tweed with little difficulty. Honestly I left for less money at the time just to get away from the nightmare. Great move though, because I am finding that the competition actually pays more on increases and better bonus structure. Yes I survived the Tweed, and happier now at work than I have been in the last 6 years.
