Pros

People use to be the best part but no one is left. Empty Offices is a plus its like working from home

Cons

It’s evident that many decisions are rushed without thorough consideration, resulting in frequent errors and attempts to conceal past failures. Management often hides information from the CEO until it’s unavoidable, then shifts blame to lower-level staff. During layoffs, it’s typically management who are retained, especially in departments like HR, IT, and Engineering, which suffer the most from poor management. HR management appears untouchable due to personal connections, while IT had some good guys who are gone now as they alluded to poor management decisions as their reason for leaving. Harness has a huge lack of transparency, contradicting stated values. Prospective employees should brace themselves mentally, as reviews reflect real experiences. Despite being an excellent workplace in the past, it seems to have lost its direction

Leadership Grasping

Business Outlook

Pros

Good product with steady adoption

Cons

Too many modules to be proficient at all of them Leadership is making radical changes that have seriously impacted customer satisfaction and employee morale. Leadership is lacking maturity and direction. They have totally forgotten the corporate values of "Remember the human" and the CEO is clueless about how mismanaged the departments are and unaware they are circling the drain. Obvious high levels of nepotism towards India employees .
