Terrible APJ leadership

Recommend

Business outlook

Pros

Could be good with better leadership. Friendly coworkers.

Cons

Current leader of APJ always has a sour attitude and treats employees without respect. Says office is "flexible" but just this past week reprimanded the Sydney office for those that chose to work from home, to the point that people were apologising in the chat. Days in the office are mandatory, except for him of course. Clearly is getting intel from other employees about who is in and out which is creating a culture of fear, and for what? Multiple sales meetings a week, including Friday afternoon and Monday mornings, which is a waste of everyone's time since obviously most deals haven't had any updates over the weekend. In the office, the culture seems off and walking on eggshells. Can't speak for other locations, but Sydney and APJ in general is not a welcoming or nice place to work due to leadership.

Pros

It looks exciting from the outside with some great acquisitions. Benefits are average and work life balance is decent.

Cons

*Managers do not know people management. *No long term vision of the company. living quarter to quarter. *Everything is about sales and everyone else is a footnote. *Disorganised leadership without any processes in place. *No personal or professional growth opportunities. The budget was probably allocated to sales kickoff

It is unfortunate to hear of your experience. We went through a transition when Optimizely was acquired and are going through a massive transformation. We are excited about the future. Leadership at Optimizely is ranked very favorable at a company level in our latest pulse check and we will continue to monitor.
