The CEO is actually a nice guy in fairness, actually listens.
There is no clear direction, or clear management.
My time I had a manager, but someone else was managing me, who had a less senior position than I, and had no relative experience compared to myself.
I was let go after 6 weeks as I was a 'maverick', it was my manager who let me go on a Thursday 4pm. No real explanation apart from I didn't fit and did things my own way.
I just can't sit and wait for leads to magic themselves up, so I hunted my own.
I made a 'qualifying error' where I met with my personal contact to sell a product, he wanted a replica of the webinar, which we did. But because he was high up at a big university I was told that I should have qualified better, and the big guns to be brought in. - I'm reflective of myself as want to give a fair review.
In regards to my sacking there was no one from HR in the meeting, and no follow up from HR for 4 weeks.
Was told I could keep laptop until I got a new job, they demanded back after 2 weeks.
How after 6 weeks, I myself had a week off, my boss 2 weeks, can you make a judgement on a person?
I am an absolute expert in my sector, and have many contacts, it is a shame as I'd have sold a lot for them, one personal friend at a university said - if they treat you like this, we will never buy from them - I replied to them that it is a great product, and not to worry about me.
And, it is a great product, 100%.
Am I bitter, yes, I was without work for 6 month, withdrew all my investments and had a baby on the way.
I took a gamble on this role, as I was an area sales director for a huge education training provider, but could see how ics could make a difference.
Overall:
10/10 for product
10/10 for salary
1/10: HR, proper routes were not taken and in honest could have and could take to a tribunal.
0/10 for management, shambles, big egos, and inappropriate language
10/10 for the two people in the team and the person who recruited me, the CSM person was lovely and the sales person was great and he checked in with me when he heard the news.
I'd also check on LinkedIn and see the average time spent at ICS, for the people who have left, pretty bleak, also check their roles too!
