CHG's culture looks great-- on the surface. Culture should be measured by how your employees feel on Sunday night thinking about coming to work the next day not by the number of parties you can throw. What I witnessed consistently was that many long-tenured employees, including many Sr Leaders, lack confidence due to lack of experience outside of CHG. This insecurity cultivates a deep-seeded dark undercurrents at CHG. The most damaging symptom by far, is allowing people to be bullied by anonymous feedback. Amazing, talented people are being run down, criticized, and bullied due to other people's insecurity. It's bad enough that it's happening, but even worse that CHG is providing the mechanism to propogate and drive this kind of behavior. There is a lot of power that comes from being behind the anonymity of a key board. People can say whatever they want and get away with it rather than sharing feedback directly to give people a chance to hear it, understand it, and respond to it. CHG has heard this feedback repeatedly from many former employees but has taken no action to resolve the issue.
