Possible no more - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij POSSIBLE

Possible has been taken over by XM ceo. With the new ceo, things are going downhill at a rapid rate. - High turnover rate The company use to be a family oriented, whereby discussions and suggestion are always accepted with an open mind. When there is just too much of difference in opinion between the new ceo and the possible staff, instead of having a proper discussion, he brings in his own from his ex-company and place it at key position to leverage the playing field. Slowly, people of key importance are being phase out by his own. As the time goes by creativity become restricted and ideas tend to be more bias towards xm team, possible team starts to leave one by one. - Company transparency reduced. The company direction, revenue, internal promotions, new hires and leavers are kept quiet most of the time. Staff will only know through rumors or when the person has left. Leavers are warned not to tell anyone until the final week, which is a joke especially to the person that take over. He has to cram in as much as he can within a week while the notice period of a leaver is 2 months. - Increase in office politics and no career progression Yes, there is a lot of office politics going on now. If you do a crummy job but kiss the right behinds of the correct people, you will get rewarded very well. - Reduce perks Not much to complain about just lesser fruits, no more department outings and no/less bonus Internal promotions are mostly happening for xm team though while company perks and bonus are reduced. I guess we know where they are going to now. - Reduce cost and quality There are various occasions that the company try to outsource the project to other vendors and our staff end up redoing it with a lesser amount of time. This is going to happen again when they are trying to outsource it to India and China. For those departments that does not have a proper head of departments, I doubt they will find one soon with this hidden agenda going on.
