Advice to Management

You need to put trust in the people that you hire. In so many functions, you see seasoned professionals being treated like toddlers. If you really want to be successful, take a hard look at your negative Glassdoor reviews; all of us can't be liars. The biggest red flag for company culture is the high number of women and people of color leaving the company.
