Not a good place to work for - Recensione dipendente - Senior Systems Engineer presso GEICO

1. Toxic team dynamics. 2. Incompetency among teams. Many "master" systems engineers did not even master their own crafts. Quite a handful of them could not solve problems and work independently. They could not even script or code anything necessary for automation. The ones I worked could only execute documented procedures, which offshore IT folks could do just that. BTW. Not sure how these people could survive in the workplace for over 5 years with poor commands of spoken and written English. 3. Consistent condescending attitudes from immediate management. When disrespectful and unfair behaviors from peers were brought to the attention of immediate management, those behaviors were ignored. Instead, favoritism was always given to difficult enabling slackers and pretenders to slide through their entire tenures. This is also how the immediate management buried the truth of useless, incompetent and yet overpaid folks from decision makers up high. 4. Poor senior leadership. Multiple stressors that were implemented during my tenure included: - Biannual performance reviews. No matter how diligent you were and honest you put on your appraisals, they would just deflate your accomplishments. - Multiple mandatory Microsoft certification exams not relevant to the roles.
