Great company being dismantled by the CEO and a gutless executive team

Business Outlook

Pros

Extremely talented employees, products that help make the world a safer place and good teamwork, except for the very top level.

Cons

Company is run by a CEO who has no interest in the business, long term development and particularly not the people. He is driving away good talent, too quick to do layoffs if the quarterly numbers are not as he told the board. No stability, benefits cut at will. People have lost faith, do not trust the CEO or his team and are sick of being pushed over any reasonable limit. Probably worst of all is that while JG will ask for feedback he cannot deal with it and if you provide it it will backfire. Be careful!
