Vantaggi
Great company, somewhere you can stay long term as long as the ongoing toxic issues in IT are actioned.
Svantaggi
Incompetent and inexperienced CIO. Her character is to bring you down if you don't agree with what she wants you to do, you'll have a target on your back. - Unable to make decisions and uses a voting method across her direct reports. - Does not assume responsibility for anything, looking for someone else to blame. - Disregards advice from experienced and skilled staff if they don't align with what she wants. - Hundreds of thousands (if not millions) spent on outside consultants and firms to provide recommendations, which end up aligning with internal recommendations, then doesn't implement any of them as it doesn't align with what she wants. - Arbitrary promotions to people without merit nor experience, as long as they are ready to say YES to everything. All while top performers wait/watch from the sidelines (and eventually leave). - No action taken for top performance (in the top right quadrant of their talent management framework); which suggests these employees should be promoted or invested into year after year, instead she'll find ways to lower their status in the framework so no action should be taken (against the support of peers, managers etc.) - Numerous complaints from directors, managers, individual contributors to HR about her actions have resulted in no action, unbelievable!! This place is toxic, and it comes from the top. I have never in my decades of work come across such a vindictive and incompetent leader who doesn't want to listen to her team. For anyone looking to work here, it IS a good company, unfortunately in IT it is a miserable experience. Most top performers / loyalists have already left as it became unbearable. To add to the mix, they lost their best employer status and even when they had it, the folks in IT couldn't believe it with everything we are going through.
