Horrible Management, Corrupt and Not Representative of their “Values” - Anonymous employee FHLB Des Moines Employee Review

Beware of this company especially in IT. Their management is inept and every department is on different wavelengths. HR is completely incompetent and will dismiss any issue you may have. They claim to be “diverse and inclusive” but beware, this is ONLY a claim. They do not follow what they preach in terms of values. I have never worked in a more hostile environment in my 20 years of employment. If their upper management do not like you or you speak up? You will be fired. I saw it happen 20+ times in my four years there. And that’s just the ones I knew about. The management is a boys club and the women to do get there? Well they suck it up and deal with it but they talk about it behind the men’s backs. The company is completely gossip tolerant and cliquey, It felt like high school. I strongly suggest not working for this company unless you enjoy horribly out of date IT practices (think waterfall/hybrid at the worst extreme), they hate suggestions or change, and if you speak up? You’re out. It’s a mess of a company especially the IT department as of now. Their old CEO brought in a consultant and created chaos right before he left (or was pushed out as most people say...). Hopefully the new CEO sees through the managers and HR department to see how corrupt and inept they are. Avoid working here at all costs. Trust me.
