Skype Reviews

As Skype further integrates with Microsoft, a lack of vision and leadership has really begun to take its toll. Corporate doublespeak abounds; people are no longer sure what they're doing or why they're doing it, and management has responded to this not with a strong blueprint for the future, but rather nitpicking about small issues. Talented and resourceful employees are being wasted in dead-end jobs with no hope for advancement or greater responsibility.

Where do I start.....Constant re-orgs, like every 2-3 months, some bigger, some smaller, where management chains are shortened, then again made longer, then bunch of people are let go, shuffled around, etc. Total lack of direction, management/decision makers seem to have absolutely no clue where they want to go with the product (perhaps due to the decision makers constantly changing and every one of them taking another direction of what they want to do). The bureaucracy chain has gotten so big over the last few years, that getting stuff done, even the most simple changes/fixes to product, processes, etc, takes ages (if they get done at all).
