Stick and Carrot leadership style, over the top micro-management and back stabbing culture, most recent round of executive management are all buddies and if you are not "in-the-circle" your name is probably on a RIF list somewhere, all in order for them to meet their bonus plans in a few years.
The company should never have undertaken the SAP project which considerably drained funds way beyond what was originally projected by a mere $60+ million, of course the companies new investors were pissed and leadership had to make up that miss.
Terrible work ethics from leadership. Culture and morale was the epitome of living in fear day-in, day-out. The belief that skillsets out in Boston are better than those in the Denver area was BS, and the fact that members of the newly hired regime specifically stated they wanted to move to Boulder over staying in Boston shows that their thinking and justifications were flawed, they just didn't want to move. Hiring all their former colleagues and employees from Reebok to ensure they have smiling faces down below. A fact that did not go unnoticed as a "Cease and Desist" letter arrived threatening legal action for hiring any more.
As an example of how messed up things were, the Boston leadership team got extremely bent out of shape when the corporate jet had maintenance issues and they couldn't be picked up to fly out for the Super Bowl game, where the company has a suite. How many employees lost their jobs in 2014 and 2015 to cover that?
The leadership in Boston has no clue, what was once a great fun, high potential brand has become nothing more than their golden parachute and they scramble to make fill their pockets by stepping all over those that built the company.
