SmartFocus reviews

Externally or internally, career wise, you have better chances to be dropped on where you will end up than climb up the ladder to where you want to go. In fact you'll probably slip a few bar down, as that is no easy task to please the management as many of the newly added layers have already tried. Confusion, could be what’s left of those attempt. Without any explanation, management will simply tell that they left. The incessant turnover, the people laid off, the people leaving have not only put an emphasis on it but also demonstrate that whether you do your mission or not, un-regarding on your long years of services, your knowledges and skills may no longer be required, in other terms you are obsolete and unwanted. Actually you will not even receive so much as call if you resign, time is money and you can't stop the time. The unexisting communication makes the short term and long term strategy quite challenging, but who doesn't like challenge. this said it could be surprising that within the company the sole people that seem to know what Smartfocus is selling are the Sales force and the technical staff have no clue on what the product(s) looks like.

Yeah, so the majority of these negative reviews stem from the sales/marketing dept in the London office, but the dysfunctional, bullying culture that this company cultivates permeates into the development department as well. This place is a revolving door of developers. Even with a small team, management does not properly recognize those with actual skills and talent to help with the redesign and re-architecting of the franken-code. Priorities are not managed and urgency is non-existent. The bar is extemely low and the bullying and territorial culture does not promote collaboration or camaraderie. Those who have the smarts realize this is a sinking ship and find much greener pastures elsewhere.
