Good teammates, terrible leadership - Anonymous employee Eden Employee Review

As some have mentioned in previous reviews, there's a clique-y "bro" culture at Eden Workplace, set from those at the very top. I worry about talent going unseen, wasted, or misapplied in this environment, because of its culture and the values that this leadership team embodies. Which brings me to this: The c-suite is not very experienced in leadership, and it shows. I think they mistake charisma and the ability to give rousing speeches, for the actual hard work of listening to staff, supporting them to address problems at their root, and forming a cohesive strategic vision that can actually be implemented. I hear a lot of good talk, and sometimes that can be energizing in the moment, but over time it becomes demoralizing because execution and change management is so poor. Even when I look at some of their responses to Glassdoor reviews, it's disorienting because that image they're trying to cultivate publicly - of being organized and responsive and strategic - just isn't the reality of working day-to-day here. I also think the c-suite's messaging around a massive round of layoffs last year - primarily layoffs of employees from the company we had just acquired - was incredibly misleading / opaque and broke a lot of trust with the team. Whether you kept your job or not, you just couldn't trust the leadership anymore.
