- The global leadership team feels short-sighted and insular, with a clear “boys’ club” dynamic at the top.
- The culture at senior levels is poor, with a clear lack of emotional intelligence embedded into how people are managed.
- Growth is almost entirely inorganic, with an overwhelming focus on M&A rather than building sustainable, organic capabilities. As a result, teams are constantly in integration mode, priorities shift frequently, and there is little investment in long-term strategy.
- Key decisions are frequently driven by gut feel rather than strategy, data, or long-term thinking.
- Unrealistic timelines are the norm regardless of seniority level or function. If a leader or employee cannot produce arbitrary results within 3–6 months, they are replaced rather than supported or developed.
Overall, I would absolutely not recommend this company to anyone. Poor senior leadership sets the tone for the entire organization and negatively impacts every level beneath it.
