Great connections but lack of clear direction

Customer success manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people. You would make lots of good friends. The best part is to make lots of great connections inside and outside of work

Cons

Upper doesn't have an idea of what direction to follow to achieve long-term goals. The sales and CS organisation goes through changes every 2 quarters and would blame employees not to achive goals and targets.
