Pros
- International Exposure: Working at ONErpm provided me with a fantastic global experience, particularly in the music distribution. The company's MCN and working with interesting artists offered a unique opportunity to learn and grow in the music industry. - Autonomy: I appreciated the level of freedom I was given to make decisions and take action as I saw fit. This autonomy allowed me to develop my skills and take on new challenges that I might not have had the chance to experience elsewhere.
Cons
- Unstable CEO: Unfortunately, the CEO's management style was less than ideal. Yelling was often used as a tool to manage the team, which led to a demotivating work environment. This behavior was not only unprofessional but also counterproductive, as it undermined employee morale and teamwork. - Fickle Management: The CEO's tendency to change his mind on a weekly basis and forget important details created an atmosphere of confusion and inconsistency. This made it difficult for employees to have a clear understanding of their tasks and objectives. Also team changed focus regularly without any sense. Just to please CEO. - Lack of Local Strategy: The Russian management, particularly the Regional Head and the Head of Marketing, seemed to lack a clear and cohesive strategy. This led to missed deadlines and a reliance on employees to pick up the slack, which was not only frustrating but also damaging to the overall work environment. - Uncompetitive Salaries: Despite the demanding nature of the work and the expectation to essentially perform the duties of two people, the salaries offered by were disappointingly low. This made it difficult to retain talent and foster a sense of loyalty among employees. - Poor Teamwork and Accountability: Another significant issue within the Moscow office was the lack of responsibility and teamwork displayed by the management. This neglect created a sense of disconnection among employees and further exacerbated the already challenging work environment. A lack of accountability from the top down not only undermined the value of individual contributions but also hindered the overall success of the company.
