Tradeshift reviews about "leadership"

Tradeshift had been on a slow decline these past 4 years which has rapidly accelerated into a free fall the past year. Current CEO and head of HR are many other senior leaders are way out of their depth. No, it's generally not a good thing that CEO needs to have daily calls with the board. Leadership, with the exception of one person is abysmal at best, criminally under qualified at worst. All benifits of working at Tradeshift has slowly eroded away- no parties, no Christmas presents, no snacks, no coffee, no toilet paper, no cleaning, no pension, no bonus, bo raise and now no offices. They do have mass redundancies every 4-6 months though! It's almost as if Tradeshift is actively trying to drive employees away and tank the evaluation. HR creates a hostile environment with zero transparency. If anybody in your reporting line asks questions to senior leadership because you cannot answer them because you also have zero information, you get called a bad leader. Tradeshift hates its employees, despite saying it's in of their most valuable assets. There has been no investment of any kind into employees in 4 years (unless you count a very basic management training in how to conduct 1:1s). Many senior leaders have failed upwards, getting promoted into positions they cannot handle despite exceptionally poor performance. That's because all the good people people with experience left. No, it's not normal to see this amount of turnover with CFOs or head legal council. Mass redundancies have been blamed on customers churning, while completely ignoring the fact that we have sold almost nothing in 2 years. That one substantial deal in 2023 was a renewal on an end of life product where the customer is being held hostage. Anyone reading this who is thinking of Tradeshift- don't. All good people are leaving or have left, it's a black hole and it's not the company it used to be. I hope they can turn around, but its not possible with the current team. Tradeshift will probably not survive the next 6 months

- horrible product - horrible leadership - lying about revenue - lying about customers

Bad Leadership No clear vision Bad communication between managers Poor promises

The current leadership team does not care about their employees. They don't even seem to know who's still left around. They make promises after promises and break them all the time and then tell you they kept all of their promises. This company used to be a technology driven company. In the last couple of years it has become a Sales company. Not that sales is going well but the only focus seems to be on how the outside world perceives Tradeshift - partners, customers, competitors, specialty magazines, sellers - we tell everybody including the new board of directors of amazing plans while forgetting you need people implementing said plans. If you're bored and look at the reviews of the company and look for the first ever review, I wrote that one - I was about a year into my tenure at Tradeshift. What I wrote then does not stand anymore. Which frankly, it hurts.

There is a legacy left over from a business based on vision which now requires change. This will be challenging for some employees but not uncommon in this sector.

Lack of direction from leadership and not clear plan on how to move the business forward and generate revenue.

It's a complete shitshow, even before the sexual assaulting. Investigators, talk to the leadership team from 2021 - especially the long term leader/enablers who came from Denmark with him. This goes deeper than CL.
