If you are looking for a solid corporate career with quality leadership and direction, look elsewhere. Senior leadership don't know what they are doing. They are "throwing spaghetti against the wall" hoping for their special leadership direction to stick. This leads to no one believing in them and just waiting for the current idea to fail, so they don't need to put time and energy into something that won't last. This is present from the new CEO down to the lowest managers. The current CEO is a perfect example of this. Her Product organization changed direction so many times I couldn't keep track of what they were supposed to be doing. While she was trying to figure it out, product owners and business analysts had their careers change to product managers and then back again several times, driving people to positions they weren't hired for. Now she is the first CEO to have layoffs related to the poor performance of the organization, affecting people that dedicated their lives to the vision of the former leaders. Engineering leaders are just as bad, maybe worse. They knowingly violated vendor contracts with the support of their legal team and employee relations. They are also another prime example of not having a solid vision and direction for the organization. They have had multiple failed attempts to update the companies sales tool, wasting multiple millions of dollars. Their data team is ruled with fear and a toxic culture by their VP, missing multiple delivery dates due to multiple direction changes and over promising. The sales teams have lost faith in the entire part of the organization and just do their own thing. This is also supported and encouraged by the C suite, calling it entrepreneurialism. All of this is hidden by the company's core values that only apply when it is convenient. Putting people first is bent by leaders so excuses are acceptable. Integrity and ethics doesn't apply to senior leadership who protect their high salaries and company equity stakes at any cost, including having employee relations exit people with shady tactics. Leadership training is a joke. All managers attend to be seen but aren't expected to implement any of the improvements, they just go back to what they want to do without consequences. This leadership culture is pervasive across all corporate departments. If you choose to work at this company, have an exit plan and run if they try and "promote" you to a leader. Beware the hidden agendas.
