SoftwareOne reviews

Services Management and lack of vision

Once-great company culture of respect for the individual, work hard/[play hard, flat organizational structure, etc. has now been discarded in favor of power politics, cut-throat pressure, hire and fire in a manic drive to achieve in four years what has taken other companies much more time to build up. Boundlessly arrogant Swiss, German, and English leadership team look upon the American company with disdain and have pretty much wiped out those key differentiators that made the original SoftwareONE in the U.S. a success before the merger with the Swiss company. Manic Swiss CEO runs the company like it still has 25 employees instead of 2,000, allowing no one else but himself to make most final decisions, including having to personally approve every hire in the US, etc. Five levels of management underneath him all have to run everything of significance up his ladder. He conducts himself outside of the company values that he preaches to everyone else. Morale in the organization has taken a nosedive in the last two years.
