Jaw-Droppingly Bad C-Suite Decisions after Acquisition
Pros
I honestly have yet to experience any.
Cons
Never have I seen such mind-bogglingly poor decisions by C-Suite as with SyBridge when they acquired us. They fired several integral and most knowledgeable staff and machinists, then handed out several "transitional" contracts (i.e. short-term) to employees who are badly needed to stay on permanently. The whole acquisition has been fumble after fumble. It has been two months since this started and I *still* don't know who our SyBridge counterparts are, and no efforts have been made by them to begin joining our team & transitioning to their software, etc. Nothing is happening. No answers, no support, no direction, nothing. *I cannot stress this enough: Do not come to work for SyBridge.* They do not care about people, the turnover inside their own company is embarrassing enough, but their mishandling of our acquisition has caused a mass exodus of highly-skilled professionals, both voluntarily and involuntarily, and the rest of us are hamstrung by the reduced teams and massively overworked. I started looking for a job in the middle of the first town hall, that's how bad this whole thing has been.
