- There are a lot of politics and you have to play the game to get anywhere. It's my opinion they have done certain things make themselves look good and skew numbers in my opinion. It's also suspicious to me that I was laid off after providing some feedback to management via an "anonymous" feedback survey. It wouldn't have came across suspicious to me by itself, but I had been asked in the past to have certain actions that would affect outcomes like these.
- A lot of last minute decisions and myopic changes made in systems. So there aren't a lot of not a lot of well planned out changes.
- Although they say you can work within your own hours, that is not necessarily true. I've been asked to work and go to meetings while I was supposed to be on vacation because the company wanted certain changes made that they let me know 2 days before I was supposed to be on vacation. For some reason they needed the work done by the end of the week, so I didn't really have a huge choice in disengaging the whole week. I had to attend meetings and reply to emails during my "vacation".
- It seems like a lot of the leadership make decisions that essentially are made to have themselves look good. It's creating an environment with middle leadership are "yes" people and agreeing to deadlines or work that their direct reports are responsible for completing. This causes direct reports like myself suffering with work life balance and overworking. It wouldn't be as frustrating if the work I was doing was done correctly, but because of short deadlines, we have to cut some corners which makes work for us to fix up later down the line.
- No job security really due to many changes in the company. In the year and half I worked there, my manager was let go, her manager was let go, I was let go, as well as others in my department. They don't have any loyalty to their employees as tenure of my managers was 10+ years and they let them go. I was reassured after that they were let go that my position was safe, but a few months after, I was then let go. My manager wasn't even the one to let me go, it was her manager, which was kind of weird. There wasn't any "Thank you for your work" or "Best wishes". They just read a 5 sentence script about how the no longer needed a fulltime employee in my role. This is the same person who was trying to be friends and act like they cared about me during team meetings as well as told me that my position was safe a few months earlier.
- A lot of the processes they have is kind of dated and feels like you're working for a company in the 2000's.
