Can have more responsibilities and be more competent.

Review from Sales Dept

I'm not sure. I think the way the business is set up penalises and damages employee relationships. Working in RSS for example, the lack of investment into a better helpdesk damanges relationships between AM and CC with unclear roles and tasks.

Outlook Reviews

Not everyone does their job to the fullest.

Review from Sales Dept

While we have a strong foundation, I believe we need to foster a culture of innovation to stay ahead of the competition. Currently, there's a lack of emphasis on generating new ideas and experimenting with different approaches. This can lead to stagnation and missed opportunities.

Review from Sales Dept

There is not much opportunity for career growth and our senior management is not looking to solve this issue. Openings come up but my candidature gets rejected without proper explanations.

Review from Sales Dept

I joined right after a major restructuring of the division I'm part of; research intelligence. Most of my frustrations have been around learning the new processes and the lack of guidance or escalation points available when I need help.

Review from Sales Dept

Disengaged leadership, often biased. Incompetent vertical heads who secured the position by cooking up stories that the leadership wants to hear. Lack of collaboration. Internal hurdles are at it's worst resulting in frustration.
