Talented people undermined by structural and cultural barriers - Anonymous employee ConocoPhillips Employee Review

Extreme organizational silos severely limit cross-functional collaboration. Dysfunctional reporting structures result in confusion, miscommunication, and inefficiencies. Systemic barriers prevent employees from accessing the tools and data necessary to perform their jobs. Lack of support for innovation result in lengthy implementation delays. Unclear prioritization and escalation paths leave employees without clear guidance on how to prioritize work or escalate issues. A failure to leverage talent leaves highly skilled professionals underutilized due to rigid structures and a lack of strategic vision.
