Great People but Terrible Management

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great co-workers and the work-life balance is not bad. The salary and the benefits are standard, but there is currently a push on to make employees feel more "engaged".

Cons

Bad management - view is that everyone is expendable, no matter how well they perform. They need to have a formal "engagement" program for employees, because management simply ignores them, and needs to try and make it look like they do not. This is the kind of condescending BS you can expect from this company.
