Mecademic Reviews

As there are several issues within the company, it is best to break them down in categories: A) Bad Leadership: -Executive leadership and upper management exhibit closed-mindedness and resists embracing necessary changes for improvement. Their approach is rigid and resistant to change, which hampers any progress. -Given various internal politics at play it is becoming increasingly necessary to exercise caution when addressing real issues due to the unpredictable moods and attitudes of executive leadership towards staff. B) Disregard Towards Staff: -The majority of hard-working employees are not adequately appreciated, while favoritism is openly displayed towards others. Diversity has been slowly decreasing while senior titles and promotions are given to the traditional group. -Investment in ongoing education for employees is minimal or nonexistent. -Compensation and benefits provided are not on par with other companies operating in similar sectors. -From what I hear from friends who work at other companies that have real flexibility in terms of work-life balance and working hours, this place seems to disregard or not care for the well-being of its employees. C) Organizational and Business Issues: -The company suffers from a serious lack of communication and cross-collaboration, and this prevents real progress. -Company struggling to gain any significant market share.

- Hierarchical mentality where you often have to tread carefully if you want to discuss real issues as leadership's mood and attitude towards staff members can change on any given day - Product in need for renewal and struggling for growth - No flex time with a general requirement for most working hours to be done at the office and disregard for any work-life balance - Inflexible approach to management - Compensation and benefits not in line with other companies in similar sectors - Lack of appreciation for most of their hard-working staff and blatant favoritism for some members. - Little to no investment in ongoing education for their employees - Serious lack of communication - No cross-collaboration - Upper management is closed-minded and resistant to change
