Don't do it ... just walk away and go somewhere else - Anonymous employee Momentive Software Employee Review

Your experience here wasn’t good and I’m sorry. You also raise important issues that I am happy to speak to – not to argue with your experience but to publicly affirm our standards and values. Community Brands is a healthy & growing company. When we do M&A, it is to expand our capabilities for customers and accelerate growth. We do not do mass layoffs in conjunction with M&A because that undermines the very reason we buy the company. It is the people who create the value that makes us interested in M&A. You will see a number of our leaders and key staff that have come from companies we have recently acquired. If you are at a company that Community Brands acquires, it is ok to ask about your future and to ask about specifics of how we’ve handled recent acquisitions. It is also true there are a handful of positions where there isn’t a fit for that person post acquisition. In that situation, it doesn’t matter how we handle the majority of people coming to us. If your job is impacted then it hurts, it’s awful and it just doesn’t matter if others weren’t impacted. I’m so very sorry. The people who have joined us through M&A are doing a great job. Your products and brands are thriving and helping our customers every day. Your voices matter, and we want to hear you. If the leaders you are working with directly aren’t listening, you know how to reach me. If you prefer to be anonymous and still want to express your opinion on strategy or direction, please reach out to our employee helpline. I have lots of conversations from all different parts of the organization and the insight you bring is amazing. If you are a person of a diverse background, you are welcome here. We have a 50/50 balance in gender for people managers. That’s huge for a tech company. That also isn’t enough – we want to build upon or progress in racial and ethnic diversity, go faster and be better. You can join us knowing that we can celebrate differences and have open dialog about how to make sure that we make this a company where people of color and indigenous backgrounds thrive just as people of different genders and of the LGBTQ+ community have thrived. If you work here, keep challenging, keep pushing, keep helping. This is how we change things not just within our company but within society. That is also true of our international offices. Each of our international teams is doing amazing work. You have each worked together to build strength and support. We have reached a place where we can grow our international leadership – you’ve seen a recent announcement where we’re beginning to shift from in-country leadership to full company-wide ownership. I’d like to hear from you as to how you are experiencing that so that we are respectful of time zones while building on the strength of our global presence. SL - CEO
