How employees describe working at American Tower Corporation
Truly some of the best and most customer dedicated in the business
The combination of base, bonus and equity is good for providing short and long term incentive and recognition.
Amazing service and good culture
A ceo in Africa who out of his emotions sacked an executive management is not worthy to be called a leader. He acted as Lord and mighty. American Tower should stop spoiling its name by having leaders without emotional intelligence or empathy. A CEO should be able to give reasons & manage his team
Awesome, productive. i have since grown in experience and knowledge.

What do people at American Tower Corporation think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
Top Employee Response
People respect the CEO.
CEO is good in expanding the company, while he is too busy doing that, his management is promoting all the dull heads only cos they are supposed to be loyal to them. But like this the international IT is down, and nobody is happy. There are company surveys and people totally disagree with so many points but no actions are taken. Every thing falls on deaf ears of the CEO, i doubt if it reaches the CEO. Certain directors are so head strong they do not work for the betterment of the team. They are not help the team grow, both technically and professionally. If you want to learn then this is not the right company for you. You can play your dirty politics here.

If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at American Tower Corporation ?
Top Employee Response
I would suggest American Tower Corporation include their contractors in more team-building activities we do. Currently contractors are treated very different from regular employees.
1) Every voice has to be heard, good or bad or ugly. 2) Promote people who deserve, if a manager is stopping the promotion then make sure to help the employee. 3) If the employee wants to learn more skills help them, rather than have dictators as directors and kill all the interest in the employee, your company will only suffer at the end.

How does American Tower Corporation make decisions around promotions?
There is no policy, whoever licks ass gets a promotion. There is a certain director who is a promotion hogger, according to him anything good directly goes on him and anything bad he would have a team member take the bullet, that was the way he got his double promotion without any pre-requisites. So basically you either demand and threaten to leave the company or be a yes man or try to be like the director who hogged the entire team promotion and is still sitting on them.
