The definition of stagnation and C-level incompetence - Product Owner bei ReQtest: Mitarbeiterbewertung

The product is established and favored by its customers.

I was optimistic at first when I joined Reqtest. However, it quickly became clear that the company might have one of the most incompetent C-level management teams within the tech/SaaS industry. Commercial leadership is nothing but a glorified "CSM", doesn't know anything about sales, and only have their title for being with the company for nearly a decade. Time is spent micromanaging employees and using overly complex language/words to appear knowledgeable and capable. This person is ironically in charge of "new business" but lacks the ability to conduct outbound sales, even book meetings which I personally found ridiculous. Instead, these responsibilities are outsourced, seemingly to avoid both responsibility and accountability. Marketing leadership is the definition of a “passenger” within the organization and only holds their title by people-pleasing upper management rather than delivering measurable results. Their focus seemed more centered towards gaining "attention" and "validation" instead of executing meaningful marketing initiatives. Lead conversion rates are poor, and marketing's overall ability to support sales efforts are mediocre at best. I found it remarkable that these individuals have remained in their positions for years despite never achieving or delivering results, and consistently failing to meet annual targets and expectations. This says a lot about the organization's poor "governance" and I'm happy I left as early as I did, since these are the last individuals you want to work for. I would not recommend Reqtest to anyone considering the management team's lack of competence, and the fact that the solution doesn't have a future in the era of AI agents.

There were some decent and competent people working there, but they all left quickly

Terrible management with bullying, aggressive and threatening behaviour. Lots of trash talking of colleagues and overall a very toxic environment. Processes and overall competence within the company were way below average. This is not the place to work if you expect to make a dent, management won’t listen to you and they care nothing for your personal development.
