Vantaggi
If you work in the Virginia Office - good location and parking. Some teams have good culture and nice people. If you are a ‘yes man’ and like to lay low below the radar and do what you’re told and just collect your pay you’ll probably do fine.
Svantaggi
Senior management and Board turn a blind eye to team issues and bad management. Have consistently not addressed engagement issues around management communication, decision making and ineffective change management. If you have good ideas and like to have a say you will feel frustrated in this environment. It is overly hierarchical. They are not concerned with anything anyone has to say unless you are from senior management. Messaging is blatantly filtered or blocked and rarely gets a chance to get up. They are implementing psychological safety and speak up program, for staff, which is terrible because they need to stop management from implementing mechanisms to punish staff that ‘speak up’ about unfairness before they encourage people to speak. Difficult environment to collaborate or have difficult constructive conversations. Cultural problems need addressing. Fantastic CEO but he is externally focused and hasn’t addressed these key issues in his management team.
