Cotality reviews

* Large disconnect between upper management and employees, but incredibly sensitive to the shareholders. A quarter where expectations are exceeded will still be met with layoffs and/or wage freezes if the shareholders aren't happy. Often times decisions are made without any feedback from the employees and major details are overlooked as a result. * Turnover is high, and the company doesn't put in enough effort to replace departing workers. It common for a departing employee's role to be reassigned to their subordinate without a promotion/raise or the hiring of a new employee. * Upper management is still trying to define the company's direction. New programs all over the company are started and ended at a moment's notice. Policies change often. * Very silo-ed. Communication between departments is extremely difficult. It's often easier to get support from 3rd party companies than using internal solutions from other departments.

I don’t even know where to begin; I do think some current employees were asked to write positive reviews because of the low rating (I say that because it was suggested I do the same earlier in my career - I never got around to it though). There are several offices though, and maybe some are better than others, but I doubt it’s that drastic of a difference. This company is a disaster from the top down and I’m surprised it’s still operational (though I’d be surprised if it didn’t collapse on itself in a few years). Everything is so convoluted and no one seems to know what they’re doing thanks to constant changes and not enough staff (the smart ones get out before they’re pushed out with a lay off). Stay away.
