Tragic waste of a good company - Anonymous employee cr360 Employee Review

cr360 works in an interesting space - sustainability & EHS data management is still a comparatively new field which holds a lot of intellectual and ethical interests. Many roles in the company involve direct client interactions and the client base is so diverse in terms of geographies and industries, and includes some large and complex companies. This means regularly liaising with the Sustainability/EHS departments of our clients, and genuinely helping them make a difference. The overriding culture in the business is quite entrepreneurial, in that people with good ideas have the freedom to share them and ultimately to change things. There aren't too many layers of management to get in the way of progress. I started in a junior role and within two years was in a senior management role. This culture also acts as a filter of sorts. Some people find the lack of structure in some areas difficult to work with, but those who can adapt to a bit of ambiguity tend to do well and grow with the company. I honestly feel I'm working with my peers most of the time - it's a predominantly intelligent and dynamic team of people. The software really is great. You often see competitor software at trade shows or when you're replacing an existing system for a client and it's reassuring to know that what we offer is one of the market leaders for good reason.

Growing so quickly has come with some problems. Sometimes processes are applied as a 'silver bullet' solution but then are just as quickly ignored or changed as they weren't really applicable in the first place. We also lack some strong leaders/managers in some areas of the business which means not all teams have matured and evolved as quickly as others. Under the strain of rapid growth this often causes some pretty classic inter-departmental tensions, but most people are rational enough to resolve such issues reasonably quickly.

cr360 is a fast growing, exciting company to work for. The Sustainability, EHS and Supply Chain, software solutions we provide are second to none in our industry. I have worked for several software companies(including some of my current competitors) during my long career and cr360 is by far the best company and product. The senior management staff at cr360 is always willing to listen to and consider new ideas and approaches. The management team goes out of its way provide employees the opportunity for growth and to gain experience in areas where they can succeed. The communication both internally and externally at cr360 is far better than my previous employers. cr360 also listens to it's clients and the marketplace when it comes to new features for the software. The overall goal is to provide a configurable product that can wrap around the clients processes while not forcing the customer to change the way they conduct their business. I truly feel that this is an excellent place to work with a very strong management team.

There are no cons here at cr360. You can make your own path and succeed.
