I can't speak for the whole business but only my experience of being at Prophix UK. - Had been with the business for less than 2 years and had 5 reporting line changes. - Being outsold and out performed by competitors, especially following the significant price increase. - Change in direction and strategy was like the wind, no autonomy to do what you need to do for the UK market, it's North American driven with a 1 size fits all approach. - The UK arm of the business is in complete disarray - lack of interest or support from the wider business to help propel it in the right direction. - No marketing resource in the UK or BDR/SDR team, which means no meaningful leads, which in turn means no pipeline and no sales - HELLO? - Some senior tenured employees (the old guard) have a strangle hold on the business and don't seem to want to relinquish control - this implies not being receptive to new ideas and have the 'my way or the highway' mindset. - Accepted a new role within the company, was told I'd be on the same salary as my previous role, later discovered I'd received a significant drop in salary when I received my wage slip (If I wasn't so patient and accepting - this would of been employment tribunal). - First role at Prophix, received commission plan 7 months into the year - Second role, had never seen or signed a commission plan at all. - Some really shoddy practices, lack of structure and badly broken processes across some business functions. Nothing is documented. Owners of these functions, seem to have no accountability or appetite to resolve. - Had a great kick off in Canada, flew out a day earlier to attend with heaps of plans of launches/re-launches - 6 months later into the year, I saw zero evidence of any of these plans being executed. - I had to leave in the end because it got to a stage where I was working, evenings, weekends, nights, for little or no return. I was spinning my wheels working on low value tasks, it became organised chaos, a sweat shop. - I've worked with several great leaders at Prophix that have been super helpful, positive and uplifting. However, I have also found attitudes of some senior members of staff to be condescending, micromanaging and unethical. It was also apparent to me how disconnected senior leadership were from the very functions there are accountable for. A review with mixed experiences. Despite all the challenges, I went from working hard, taking every challenge in my stride, enjoyed some success within the first 14 months.......to changing roles, being overworked, undervalued and seriously disliking what I was doing. I put this down to 'people'.
