Great people, but too many managers who add little value
Solutions Architect • Current Employee
Warwick, West Midlands, United Kingdom
September 10, 2017
Pros: Colleagues who are always willing to help and share their expertise. A global network.
Cons: There are some great managers, but generally speaking, most first-line managers do not know how to motivate and engage their team members. They just get in the way. There are too many layers of management, and second/third-line managers are bean-counters, Excel spreadsheet junkies who almost never see a client.
