A Setup for Failure - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Automated Systems

This is a very each man for himself environment. You will be trained poorly, at best, & immediately thrown into overwhelming circumstances where no one is going to help you or mentor you. It is a very complex system that will take years to become familiar with, but you will be thrown immediately into it & expected to answer every question & resolve every technical problem with no help. You are set up to fail at every turn. Being yelled at in your area & private personnel matters discussed openly within earshot of peers (or even TO the employee’s peers) is commonplace. The upper levels of management are inept. Staff pays a high price trying to overcome the constant split second bad decisions made. Split second decisions are the status quo. The atmosphere never drops below emergency mode. Upper management does not communicate, has no discipline to do their jobs: research, planning, scheduling, or even knowing when to say “No” to the customer. As a result, when we don’t deliver, the client suffers and staff has to deal with it. In various ways, ethics at ASI are questionable. No management knows anything or could care less about managing personnel or how to encourage, get the best out of people. No one has your back. Lower management takes their cue from above, performs poorly, falls in line with the chain & fails also. Unless a time comes that it can be acknowledged that they sell software, but it’s 100% the people & their talent backing it, the developers that write the code, the conversions people that onboard, the support staff that continue the service–they will all continue to be viewed as a liability to the company rather than the vital assets they are. If you meet management in the hallway, they will look right past you, your existence will not even be acknowledged. They are very quick to fire people coupled with the number of people that leave on their own (do NOT give a 2 week notice, despite staff pleas not to, they fire many people as soon as they give notice) A very high turnover rate. Do not take a job here unless it is a last resort. Your very last resort.
