RUN. AWAY. FAST - Recensione dipendente - Senior Project Manager presso Integer

Unfortunately, I could write a book on the cons. A strong, progressive, professional culture is advertised but NOT AT ALL lived. There are all kinds of cliques and divisions, and there is a lot of importance attached to politics, titles and 'pecking order', so it’s very ‘dog eat dog’. The environment is very 'bottom heavy' and extremely light on real leadership, and this is evidenced by the UNBELIEVABLE TURNOVER rate, which is also still INCREASING! There is a real lack of leadership beneath the Executive level, and most of the understaffed white collar community/Middle Management are living in constant fire drill mode. The company is very dysfunctional and seems to operate in a parallel fantasy world, where individually and collectively, there is a real lack of discipline, rigor, or professionalism. It's a terrible situation because there is also an incredibly hypocritical double standard, where you are expected to deliver results in the most unreasonable timeframes and the most unrealistic of contexts. When trying to work with people cross-functionally, they will either ignore meeting requests or accept them and not show up, come unprepared, or cancel or request to reschedule at the last minute (and multiple times). They are also generally very slow to follow up on actions/deliverables, if they even bother to do that...Often, this behavior is driven by Executives and Senior Management who are busy creating more fire drills by dropping in and asking/telling people to join impromptu meetings or to turn around new deliverables at the last minute. It's regular gaslighting and bullying, where the "beatings will continue until morale improves". Then, they wonder in all-employee meetings why the employee turnover is skyrocketing...SMH. Bottom line, no capable, competent, self-respecting professional would really want to work here or find it fulfilling and sustainable in the long run, so I fear for the company's future and for anybody who falls into the trap of believing that it's a good place to work. It is not, and it looks like it's getting worse before it will get better, unfortunately. I will not miss it at all and, with the exception of a few good colleagues who became friends, I will try to forget it and pretend like the nightmare of working there never happened. One of my colleagues was told by his Manager that a business partner was 'uncomfortable with his communication style', as it was perceived as 'too extroverted'. How does a company say that they value diversity, equity, and inclusion and then not allow employees to be themselves by enabling anonymous, cowardly, vague and unconstructive feedback like this to be not only received and taken at face value but also given to an employee by his Manager? It's ridiculous, disingenuous, immoral and embarrassing.
