Great colleagues and mission, but poor leadership and lack of true diversity - Anonymous Employee OCLC Employee Review

• The company's mission shifted drastically around last year, moving away from its original purpose • leadership focuses on their own interests and disregards employee satisfaction or well-being • Feedback is not welcomed. Sharing concerns is taken as a personal attack instead of an opportunity to improve the workplace • Diversity is promoted in words, but not in practice; leadership lacks any real diversity (almost entirely older white leadership) • Employees are underpaid compared to the market; hiring practices prioritize "cultural fit" based on social media rather than professional qualifications • Education and experience are not valued; subject-matter experts are dismissed and not treated with respect • Speaking up often jeopardizes job security, creating a culture of fear rather than trust • Management operates under preconceived assumptions; no matter how well you perform, you are still judged by bias rather than merit • Reporting harassment or mistreatment to HR is ineffective. Employees are advised to change roles or departments instead of addressing the problematic managers. The root cause is ignored, protecting wrongdoers while punishing or pushing out hardworking employees
