Svantaggi
What was so incredibly disappointing to me was that I was thrilled to get a job with this company. I left a company I loved bc I anticipated growing, and learning, and sharpening my skills. I knew some of my colleagues were sharp, so I was excited to learn so much working here. However, what I didn't anticipate was the reality. The place is a train wreck. It was a nightmare from the first week. On boarding was done through about 50 different links to various company sites, to be done on my own, constant mixed messages and signals from the start, and most employees are so busy covering themselves bc of the accusatory environment that that "team" thing? Doesn't exist. So, I have a list of 10 reasons not to work there, but it could be much, much longer. 1. Leadership is the company's biggest disrupter. Too many chiefs, personal agendas and managing up, instead of leading employees. It is destroying them from the inside. 2. HR is in no support for the employees 3. Very unhealthy environment. Accusatory, and full of endless stress and "never good enough" mentality of leaders. 4. Policies are not clear and leadership at several levels approve things, but the only people held accountable for "breaking policy" are the people on the bottom. Very, very unclear when to follow leadership and when not to??... 5. Benefits are not good for a company of its size. Expensive benefits and pay raises are terrible. 6. Bottom line driven over employee satisfaction and retention 7. Leadership could care less about employees. No loyalty to even top performers, only loyalty is to the yearly return promised to investors. Whatever it takes leadership. 8. HR is afraid to fire certain workers who have been documented by multiple managers as not honest, and not working, yet will fire others without any warning. 9. Employee expectations and reviews are never done on time. I got my expectations at the end of the year right before I had my annual review, little tough to achieve in a couple of weeks. No one can hold leadership accountable' yet employees are held tight to what's expected of them, even if it wasn't communicated in a timeframe manageable to be delivered. 10. VERY unhealthy environment. Oh wait, did I say this already? It bears repeating because it is, so much so that people leave, just quit without even having another job to go to. There are so many incredibly smart, hard-working, talented, yet unhappy, miserable employees. I cannot believe for a company that has such amazing content and R& D behind it, and manages to get such high quality talent, and throws out so many employee satisfaction surveys, that NO ONE in leadership is actually hearing what their people are telling them. But, then again, leadership is this company's greatest disrupter. That's what happens when everyone manages up.
