Management training lacking - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Block

- Horrible management. I saw managers throw their direct reports under the bus and then those same managers got promoted. I saw managers refuse to give direct reports feedback. My career development stagnated at Square because my manager was ill-equipped to provide any sort of guidance in this area. - Inability to prioritize. Focus would be given to shiny projects over projects that would actually add value to the company. Some managers thought it was appropriate to have 10 P0 priority projects running for a single employee at one time. - The most political work environment I've been a part of. If you don't cheerlead for yourself here, like other employees are doing for the most mundane of projects they complete, you won't get noticed. Combine that with the fact that you would likely not have a manager who is skilled enough to be an advocate for you and it creates an environment that is frustrating for employees who aren't politically savvy. - The stress of all the above created a lot of tension in the work environment. I experienced other employees being verbally abusive to me.
