New review on Glassdoor this morning; nothing we haven't heard before but the extra detail - £500 bottles of wine - is really something:

Pros

Wow - there are clearly none left

Cons

Where do you start - there are too many to mention, especially now! With the second investigation into the accounts in less than 18 months, this company has to be doomed - it has to be. In my time the senior leadership (founders) reveled in first class flights, 5 star hotels and thought nothing of spending £500 on a bottle of wine in the most exclusive restaurants. They were spending as though all their Christmases came at once! Even took out a long lease on a very expensive London property that lies vacant some 18 months later.. Customers were staggered by the 'generosity' of the Dubber entertainment budgets... The SLT treated the teams with utter contempt. There was never any autonomy, no one was able to make any decision, sales guys had to fight for contracted commission payments - all the while it appears that the CEO may have been responsible for a missing $26m of shareholder funds. All the power rested with the CEO and COO. They took responsibility in the 'good' times - both need to do the same now - TAKE responsibility for your actions. They made 40% of the global workforce redundant 3 weeks after announcing a 3 year multi $m F1 sponsorship deal. This sums up the narcissistic characters at the top of the business. Do not touch this company with a very long stick - you will get burned!

Advice to Management

Given the current situation - the Board and senior managers all need to resign - take responsibility for your actions. Some might find they will be forced out as the investigation into the missing $26m continues - as the CEO has been.
