- No diversity in upper management, it’s glaring.
- Your experience will be largely dependent on the leadership competence of middle managers who are VERY variable. Mine was a sexist and a micromanager, others are great.
- Your job may be misrepresented to you. My recruiter did an amazing job selling me on DocuSign, so much so that it was definitely oversold. The responsibilities of my role were completely over-stated and over-leveled.
- Teams are averse to change, innovation, having a strategy, looking at data, or anything that resembles coherent planning. They make decisions based on what they “feel” will work.
