ION Group reviews

Pre-Ion takeover I worked for a successful, largely well run, innovative software business with a great team and some great clients. There was plenty of scope to grow organically in a rapidly expanding market. More specifically it was an excellent company to work for with senior management who were smart, communicative, and who at least gave the pretension of caring about their staff. Unfortunately the VCs and other investors got bored, impatient, greedy and subsequently sold out to Andrea Pignataro (AP) not giving a hoot as to the true potential and long-term returns available. Needless to say it didn’t take very long for just about everyone to realise that AP had absolutely no interest or understanding in the acquisition other than to completely bleed the heart out of the business and take as much money out of it as is possible. During my short time at Ion I saw entire teams of very skilled and experienced professionals quit with not so much as an iota of concern or care being shown by Ion. You will notice a similar pattern in most businesses acquired by Ion There is a distinct lack of transparency at Ion and senior management show complete contempt for employees, clients, prospects a-like. Its not personal thing at least - they are genuinely nasty. This a business with absolutely no long term future and whose value diminishes every day. Get out whilst you can and forget any company pension scheme you might have been saving up in – the reality is that AP has probably already pilfered it. Above all remember Ion doesn't care !!!
