Don't be fooled by the facade. - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Bulldog Solutions

Thanks so much for the feedback. Sorry to hear that you’re not having an incredible experience as a Bulldog, but we welcome your input and appreciate this review. We recognize that we often work long hours and stretch ourselves to meet the needs of our clients. To avoid an unsustainable workload and strike a balance in allocating resources to each project, we have established a goal of 75% utilization for all of our team members in Operations (Creative, Development, Media, MarTech, and QA). We are looking into better ways to use this platform and our PMO staff to improve visibility & effectiveness. We invite your participation in this process. In reference to your feedback on the Guilt-Free Time Off policy, it sounds like there may be some confusion about the parameters, so we’ve included a snapshot of the policy here: 1. Request in advance, if possible. 2. Work out coverage amongst your team members. 3. Obtain approval from your manager through our online portal. 4. Adhere to the annual minimum suggestion – 3 weeks of Time-off. We have a minimum mount of day in order to ensure that everyone is taking advantage of the generous policy and we hope that all Bulldogs are able to balance working hard for BDS/Clients with a substantial amount of time-away. As it is truly unlimited, we do not have a maximum or even a threshold that would trigger a “flag” from management. We do always work to make sure that the teams are equitably distributing coverage time and that no one person is stuck always providing coverage for others. We understand that your experience may have been different than the cited expectations and we’d like to hear more about it. We invite further discussions with you if you’re having trouble in this area. As for our performance management and termination practices, we do not share detailed information regarding specific actions, but speaking generally, we require our managers to hold regular performance management meetings with all employees; we have a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) framework that can be implemented to assist with facilitating continued improvement. Both the one-on-one meetings and PIP actions are confidential; sometimes these actions lead to a termination or a Bulldog graduation. It is not always easy, but part of ensuring that we are on the path to Irresistibility includes regular evaluations of our capacity, capability, and cultural alignment of all of our team members. We’re sorry to hear that you don’t enjoy our lunch and snack offerings. Our Office Manager, who is a culinarian, enjoys providing a fun menu each week that is informed by employee-requests. Our kitchen is filled with a variety of Company-provided and employee-shared goodies. Unfortunately, we can’t find an instance of the Company ever offering Walmart-brand sandwich meats, but we do welcome suggestions and requests for all of the menu offerings. For example, this week, we have the following options: Thai coconut chicken, Falafel, and pasta salad, among other things to build salads or sandwiches. As we approach 100 employees, we do not expect to make everyone happy with everything that we do or serve but we hope to help the majority with nutritious meals throughout the workweek. We appreciate any and all feedback as we continue on the path to building our Irresistible Workplace. Thank you!
