Shift in Culture: From Empowering Local Talent to Intimidation Tactics
Pros
• Historically, the company had a strong culture of meritocracy where credits were fully rewarded to those who actually did the work. • The environment used to embrace diversity and empower local leadership in the US. • The core mission is strong, and there are still many "valuable team members" who are highly skilled and dedicated.
Cons
• Shift in Leadership Origin: There is now a heavy promotion of European leadership over American talent, which has fundamentally changed the internal culture for the worse. • Intimidation in Digital Data Analytics: Leadership in the Data Analytics department uses intimidation and false narratives about former employee to manage and threaten current staff. It is deeply unprofessional to weaponize a former colleague’s departure to scare current employee into compliance. • Targeting of Minority Staff: There is an unsettling pattern of bullying directed at minority female team members. • Style Over Substance: The current environment in certain hubs rewards self-promotion and "political games" rather than actual technical or operational substance.
