Speechmatics reviews about "colleague"

The company has completely inadequate leadership. There is no steer, no forward looking strategy to tackle the rapidly growing sense that we have become a commodity. We keep pushing Conversational AI when all of our revenue still comes from ASR. We are sitting ducks and the leadership pretends like everything is going to plan. Why has the CEO not been replaced yet? Whatever the reviews say here, there is not a single person I know that has any faith in the management. Get rid of the CEO, and the CSO who has been here for over 10 years now, find some industry experts to come onboard who can set a real vision and bring a fresh perspective. We just need real change.

A clueless leadership team, instead of listening and fixing problems resort to gaslighting and bullying. Company struggling to attract good talent. Poor remuneration and very basic perks. Poor staff retention. Lack of clear strategy and processes. Teams lack stability and clear direction. Long working hours. Stress. Chaos. No training or mentoring. Horrible culture. No recognition of hard work. No career or salary progression. ML team are the centre of attention, much better paid and resourced. Otherwise, you are out of luck.

not moving faster enough in the conversational AI space, lack of sales process

- there could be a bit more consistent update on company strategy as things move so fast - hybrid working means that i don't feel I always know enough about other parts of the business

Cambridge office could do with some sprucing up

Salary for me was around £5-10k less than other people working the same role. Personal development always promised, never actually got anything. The Chief Marketing Officer went through a Mental Health Course yet still bullies passive aggressively on internal emails and meetings. Workplace is under resourced massively in Engineering based teams. The HR team will fob you off when it comes to anything regarding personal development. A lot of great colleagues have left and will be leaving because of the current situations a lot of them find themselves in.

no coaching, commission structure needs to be more motivating

Leadership isn’t necessarily where it needs to be

Completely Invisible leadership - Negligible long-term vision from leadership, company doesn’t follow through on releases since there’s no vision Lacking employer recall - Doesn’t open any doors Very slow to innovate (except probably Flow) Low pay for the significant amount of work Slow career growth
