Poor training functions
No CRM system for sales, despite over 20 locations
Autocratic leadership on key decisions from Chairman
Business Strategy is based upon a spread betting style. Akin to going to the roulette table, spreading chips across the table and hoping something lands.
New strategy every month; often contradicting previous months. AEC is dead, financial sector is key,
We need to focus heavily on AEC now, wait, Project management tools are the future, no, Indigo is the way forward, We need to focus on small format colour, Scrap that, 3d printing is the way forward. That's the picture over a 4 month period.
Dubious characters in management. Shady and some just unpleasant.
Not great respect for long term employees, despite claiming to be a 'people company'. Make no bones about it, Hobs are a investor in technology; they don't really care too much about the personnel.
Culture, whilst good because of some great employees is often reduced to gallows humor. People do inherently moan, but there is no smoke without fire.
