Vantaggi
the colleagues who believe in the mission make working at ITHAKA really positive. people try to be helpful when they can and my specific team is supportive.
Svantaggi
Nathalie Udo. she is a bully who retaliates against people. I noticed it the most when they disagree with her or her omnipresent Operational Excellence team. She leads by bulldozing people and uses our value of speed as the cover. Our president agrees blindly with whatever she suggests and no one else on our executive leadership team will speak up out of fear of ending up on her bad side. She will find a way to undermine your professional credibility so your opinion matters less. Only certain voices matter at ITHAKA and even with all of the effort to work around the force of negativity it gets harder by the day. it is not a safe place for people of color or anyone from other forms of diverse backgrounds. your presence becomes tokenism.
