Vantaggi
The good thing about ION is when you leave you'll have been prepared for even the most toxic of work cultures elsewhere. The other pro is it has all the rotten eggs in one basket, so you'll sleep soundly knowing you'll probably not have to deal with the underhanded and indecisive leaders outside of this company again.
Svantaggi
It begins and ends with the leadership team. Andrea Pignataro (Group CEO) - driven, intelligent, inspiring. However, the culture he has cultivated in the organisation is one that does not embody TRUST. The focus on the bottom line and ignorance of the office culture is costing more than properly addressing matters. Delegation of responsibilities is lacking, little or no autonomy trickles down, and the leadership team emulate this behavior. Vivake Gupta (Group CAO) - rude, disingenuous, lacks focus, lacks moral fibre Luke Flemmer (divisional CEO) - arrogant bully, lacks leadership qualities, looks out for himself Silvio Oliviero (divisional CEO) - lacks leadership qualities including not setting an example, uninspiring, inattentive, indecisive Francesco Margini (divisional COO) - disingenuous, destructive flunky that manages up, lacks moral fibre, not popular on the street, ordinary example set to others
