Company lives in a constant lie about almost everything and mislead employees and customers.
Management hides the real/tangible facts and supersedes them with prospective wishes.
Working at CDNetworks you will be facing a perpetual disinformation (north Korean like).
The company claims superior technical performance but simply ignore the reports showing the reverse ; ignore important features ; price alignment, … and ask teams to fight hard to keep their jobs. They advertise internally deals won but omit to mention details like: it is a just a trial, the deal size is very minimal, price is below costs, customer as an out … To compensate, the few juicy customers are often told that there is a change in the price or in the model calling for a raise …
Their vaporware China delivery solution is kept very opaque in purpose under the pretext that the market there is very complicated. This allow them to charge x5 more than competitors with more presence and experience there, and if one question why this difference they bad mouth competitors.
For 1 deal won, some months see many customers leaving and you cannot even question about that because of the risk of retaliation. There have been several months with literally 0 deals! Some other months are way below the targets, but senior management always find a trick to explain that they have overachieved numbers...
Senior management self proclaim the company as being one of the best in customer support … but they don’t have any award, any certification, and there is a huge turnover when it come to the 2 (two) folks in charge of customers support. How can a 24x7 customer support be the best of the world with 2 poor guys doing their best in between two smoke breaks?
Promotions are based on friendship or reserved to people that are servile with no attitude against management mistakes. Talent or merit is not considered, it is even adverse as it may highlight your supervisor drawbacks. Some executives simply wants to grow the size of their teams as a sign of power, but they don’t manage them and are anyways too lazy to do it well so they are spending their time saying that they are swamped. which gives them the opportunity to be selective on the tasks they do (they rather spend time on Facebook, linkedin or friend meetings)
The US office is probably the worst, since US/EMEA executive wanabees are all residing there, but the UK office is a naughty place too.
It is to wonder how many time more KDDI (the Japanese Telco had acquired CDNotworks in 2011 as the current management was already putting the company down at this time) will let these people play their bad businessman game.
Even If you are looking for a job, you are probably not desperate to the point that you want to work there.
