Poor people managers, this could be due to lack of development programs for first time managers. Need better processes and systems, may be partly due to inexperienced managers again. Management has been penny wise and pound foolish until now, but i think they turned the corner and realize we need some investments. The so-called great culture depends on which organization you are in. HR does not report into the CEO which is quite strange. CEO is young, not very experienced luckily things are going well. I do wonder what happens if we hit a snag in future and whether he has the know how to manuever us out of a jam, that will be the true test of a good CEO. Performance management process is not really enforced. As result star employees do not always get recognized, and weak employees linger on when they should have been managed out.

In the past two years the company grew in very fast speed, the small company characters have disappeared. The organization is not flat anymore. The management has no training or vision. There is no management culture and principles. On the surface the company has core values but the values are not followed. The middle managements formed a alliance that has all the political posturing that you can see in a big company and the interview process is controlled by that group.
