Very negative environment - Anonymous employee PayByPhone Employee Review

Very negative environment with unrealistic expectations and little or no direction or training. My manager worked so many hours that they seemingly couldn't think straight let alone work with us on a coherent plan for our team (there was a sense in my team that planning never went further than the following week). What initially seemed like a positive environment (usual tech co trimmings of snacks and games etc) was soon dashed and it became clear that there are a lot of disgruntled staff members and some quite sour relationships between different teams. Turnover (terminations and resignations) across the business seemed quite high but particularly in finance. The commercial viability of the business is probably questionable unless the product evolves significantly. Lastly, there were some management behaviours that I wasn't comfortable with around the manner in which some staff members were spoken to (reported to HR).
