CEO is the Problem - Anonymous employee Accelerate Digital Agency Employee Review

Thanks for the review. There are definitely a lot of improvements that can be made at Accelerate. There have been many just in the past year. To name a few. + A new COO that runs the entire operations of the business. I don't actually hire anyone at the company, the past 6-7 employees have all been hired by managers not me, so I'm not sure how recent the experience of this review is. + A new VP of sales that runs the revenue generation side of the business. Through that process, we've continually worked on improved scoping, client expectations and contracts with measurable improvement + As of this date of writing this, less than 20% of our development is completed in India and Pakistan, with the Majority of development being completed in Poland, and other eastern European countries, some is being completed in Mexico. We have a US based Dev Ops Manager and a US Based Sr, Quality Assurance Manager, with plans to onboard a US based CTO. We haven't withheld payment from any or our contractors and currently have over 100 active software developers around the world. Of which have a 95%+ approval rating in working with us. + As of writing this today we are a debt free organization with strong financials, which I'm willing to share with any prospective employee or customer with an NDA in place. + We have rolled out standardized performance metrics across the organization and we're continually improving them as well. If you have any additional suggestions for how we can improve. I truly would like to hear any suggestions over coffee in our office. For current employees, if you have any questions or suggestions, please keep passing them along, we'll keep getting better. What I have told EVERY EMPLOYEE from day 1, is that Accelerate will continue to grow and reward top contributors with Opportunity and compensation. If you look across the organization today, there are several people in key roles, that I believe would reflect that sentiment. We have also made it abundantly clear, as a part of our hiring process to over qualify pace of work to our potential hires. This was implemented about 12 months or so ago. We specifically interview to understand a candidates ability to handle multiple clients, multiple internal teams and balance it well. We don't want, or encourage anyone to work late (more that 40 hours) to complete work. We are not a perfect organization. We have our problems. However. We have continued to grow at a fast pace, while creating better structure, processes and working to create an overall better place to work. Most important, I do take full responsibility for all the improvements and overall performance of the organization and I give our leadership the credit for all the improvements. Brad
