PB stubbornly refuses to change from deep silo management to engaged collaboration - Anonymous employee Pitney Bowes Employee Review

1) Class stratification. The thinkers at corporate neither acknowledge nor appreciate input from what they perceive to be the working class. 2) Poor judge of talent. As they downsize, they do not stack rank and keep off loading the most talented and team oriented leaders. It lends the appearance of "team play at your own risk." 3) Senior leaders love flattery. It will get you anywhere. People advance on their ability to flatter which kills the business. The culture has led to a VP - Director level team of "me first" non leaders. 4) Culture pits one group against another making necessary global changes very painful and high risk. 5) The key to why they absolutely cannot survive is a most peculiar refusal to encourage cross functional collaboration. Every person stays in their own silo. They call them Centers of Excellence but it's really "my turf."
