Some great people, but inconsistent leadership and direction - Product & Technology Castor Employee Review

Senior roles sometimes carry formal accountability, but decision-making authority is frequently overridden by the CEO. CEO regularly oversteps across departments, disregarding functional expertise and established accountability. This discourages initiative and open discussion. Lack of structural clarity on roles, decision boundaries, and escalation paths. HR function sometimes lacks operational competence and often makes commitments that are not feasible or honored. Company strategy shifts every 3–6 months with no clear North Star or long-term direction. High attrition of senior leaders & top talent, with no clear retention or merit-based renewal strategy. Stated vision and mission are misaligned with day-to-day decisions and behaviors. Decision-making is siloed within small groups, leading to poor transparency and communication.
