MoneySmart Group reviews about "management"

Employee perks could be better

Poor management and direction. No instructions at all

Doesn't pay well, they will try to undercut salary when possible. Zero diversity. Projects constantly delayed, nothing gets launched within committed timeline. Working hard isn't always rewarding as you're met with many that don't work hard and yet manage to get promoted. These are issues that has been raised in multiple meetings, to the CEO and management during many all hands, but nothing has been done to address it.

- Leadership is heavily influenced by legacy perspectives, with initiatives often delayed and driven top-down without clear purpose. - Decision-making tends to favor long-standing relationships over objective, data-driven or ground-level feedback. - Lack of diversity at the top management level leads to limited perspectives in strategic decisions. - Significant time spent on polished presentations and internal alignment rather than actionable outcomes. - Senior leadership prioritizes vanity metrics over meaningful business impact, with slow response to market changes. - Organizational culture rewards consensus-building and “pleasing” behaviors over agility, critical thinking, and innovation. - Product function lacks clear roadmap visibility, with frequent delays and minimal innovation. - Product leadership often lacks practical experience, leading to over-reliance on buzzwords rather than execution. - Product managers have limited autonomy and are largely executing top-down directives. - Marketing strategy is overly theoretical and disconnected from real market dynamics. - Frequent use of external consultants and tools without clear ROI or accountability, leading to inefficient budget use. - Internal culture in Marketing discourages ownership, with misalignment often attributed to resource constraints rather than prioritization issues. - Design team is underutilized and not empowered strategically, often reduced to executing low-impact tasks. - Customer Service lacks accountability, with frequent blame-shifting and insufficient product understanding. - Commercial team can be internally focused and misaligned with client needs, with inconsistent adherence to professional standards. - Operations team lacks clear direction and strategic guidance, limiting their effectiveness. - Cross-department collaboration is often inefficient, with unclear ownership and frequent misalignment.

Bad management Delusional CEO Superbly lack of action and execution Talk a big game, achieve no results Please stay away from this company

- more strategic clarity from senior management - employee development programs are lacking

Deteriorating culture, lack of diversity and upper management who are basically lackeys. No vision for the future other than surviving from month to month.

Lack of management, flat company structure

New leadership whose style is highly self-centred and micromanaging. The focus is more on maintaining personal standing within the company rather than developing the team or aligning with broader organisational goals. Leadership lacks trust in the team, heavily monitors call logs, enforces strict and arbitrary call standards (e.g., two 15-second calls), and is resistant to change. Promised support at the start often changes mid-course, and term leads are held back for months—yet KPI expectations remain high. The work environment feels robotic. If you’re not someone who thrives under rigid control or a petty, highly OCD management style, this may not be the place for you. Compensation and Structure: • Commission is only 30% of $240K AFYGR, less your base salary • Payouts are only made once a year, which delays tangible reward for hard work • 6-month probation period, seemingly more to buy time than to evaluate fairly The company views itself as elite in lead generation but provides little room for team empowerment or growth under this leadership.
