Ollion Reviews

1) Unpredictable Leadership and Unwelcoming Atmosphere: The top management, including the CEO, demonstrates inconsistency and a lack of clear direction. The attitude and behavior of the marketing and growth leadership contribute negatively to the work environment. From other "leaders", there is a constant negative attitude. Overall, the leadership team is not capable of motivating anyone who is reporting to them. 2) Absent Leadership in Key Areas: There has been a notable absence of leadership in vital departments, with no official communication or interim measures in place, leading to uncertainty and disarray within the team. 3) No Clear Market Positioning: Our firm struggles to carve out a distinct market position and lacks a coherent strategy for moving forward. This is compounded by the tendency to promote leaders despite evident downward trends in revenue. 4) Favoritism and Internal Politics: A culture of favoritism is evident, disadvantaging those not part of certain internal groups. This has impacted morale and career opportunities. 5) High Turnover: The company has seen an alarming rate of turnovers. Leadership tends to blame individuals rather than addressing larger systemic issues. 6) Inadequate Onboarding and Resources: The absence of a structured process for integrating new staff. 7) Operational Rigidity and Lack of Innovation: Despite its long history, the company shows a reluctance to evolve beyond established methods, particularly in areas outside of migration services. Attempts to innovate or introduce new methodologies are constantly met with resistance, especially from individuals in technical leadership roles who do not want to get out of their comfort zone.

I was with Cloud Comrade (now Ollion Pte LTD) for over five years before the merger and acquisition (M&A). After the merger, everyone had the unfortunate experience of working at Ollion, and I feel compelled to share my experience with others. From the very beginning of M&A, it was evident that the management was utterly clueless when it came to understanding the intricacies of the cloud business. Their lack of direction and strategy was alarming, leading to a chaotic work environment where employees were left to fend for themselves. One of the most egregious aspects of Ollion's operations is their hire and fire policy, which seemed to be the only consistent aspect of their management approach. Massive layoffs and retrenchments were rampant, leaving dedicated employees uncertain about their future and demoralized by the constant threat of losing their livelihoods. To make matters worse, the HR department was utterly useless, offering no support or guidance to employees facing challenges. Their policies made no sense and seemed designed to benefit the company's bottom line rather than prioritize the well-being of its employees. It became painfully clear that leadership positions within Ollion were not earned through merit but rather based on biased decisions. This blatant favoritism only served to further erode morale and create a toxic work culture where talented individuals were overlooked in favor of those with personal connections to the higher-ups. As a subsidiary of ST Telemedia, one would expect better investment decisions to be made. However, Ollion proved to be a complete disaster, squandering resources and failing to deliver on its promises. ST Telemedia would undoubtedly be better off reallocating their investments elsewhere, away from this sinking ship of mismanagement and incompetence. In conclusion, I would strongly advise anyone considering employment or business dealings with Ollion to steer clear. The company's track record speaks for itself, and it's clear that they have a long way to go before they can be considered a reputable player in the industry.
