Good people. Bad management. - Marketing bei Ascend Software: Mitarbeiterbewertung

It's a fantastic small company with close knit relationships and people that genuinely care about each other.

As a small company, today's chaotic business climate is just plain scary, although they've weather it well so far.

Great people who work hard and get results in spite of everything.

Management seems distracted by whatever the shiny new thing is, which causes priorities to change constantly. Despite preaching “go slow to go fast”, urgency is manufactured for pet projects that don’t enhance the core product and don’t actually bring value to customers. Plus, they are investing large amounts of resources in expanding the product line with something customers have voiced no interest in. This dysfunction has resulted in bad financial numbers, which has only exacerbated an already-toxic workplace. C-level executives are passive-aggressive in their communication, and play mind games with employees.
