Appalling Senior Management: AOL could be so much better than it is. - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso AOL

The problem with AOL in London is 100% the Senior Management team. They are dishonest, reactive, arrogant and care little for their employees. For the most part, succession planning is non-existent, they hire and fire on a whim so there isn't a lot of opportunity for anyone to really make their mark or progress through the ranks. They make promises they do not follow through with. There is no transparency and they rarely communicate their decisions to the wider business so it's difficult to understand what is happening and why. Things are constantly changing so you never really know where you stand or whether the project your working on will ever make an impact or even be relevant from one day to the next. They promote values which they do not abide by. As an employee, I rarely felt like the Senior Management team had any respect or concern for anyone other than themselves. Some great people work for AOL but very often they are under utilised, unappreciated and their talent unrecognised and thus completely wasted. It's a shame because it has the potential to be a great company and place to work but at this rate, it never will be.
