Svantaggi
- there was little to no career development for me or members of my team. My prior experience was not utilized for the responsibilities I was provided.
- company follows a centrally planned organisational structure, with a few people holding most of the power to make decisions and determine how everyone else operates. For experienced employees, this means putting aside your own experiences to follow prescribed practices with little opportunity to question or improve them.
- Very little transparency and structure around remuneration and performance measurement. Since teams, roles, and responsibilities changed at a high frequency for some people, it was often difficult to master your area, and even harder to prove you are a strong performer. I believe this is an area the company is working on.
- the culture did not encourage questioning the status quo. I was in a number of meetings where members of the leadership team either ignored questions or became aggravated at questions being asked.
- HR is directly managed by the CEO
