Unless you are in the good graces with the upper management, your voice is not heard. Favoritism is rampant and it is not even hidden.
There has been a lot of chaos and reorganizations taking place over the past few years that have only exacerbated the problem of favoritism.
After the CIO was unceremoniously fired, a new reckless, incompetent CTO took his place and bullied his way around with an ax, slashing and cutting managers at will and bringing in his own "buddies" to continue the carnage. Left in the wake are a bunch of good people either let go, or quit in justified disgust.
HR personnel are gutless to do anything about it, but then again, in their defense, they are also in fear of their jobs. Privately, they will acknowledge what's happening is wrong, but publicly can't or are unwilling to interfere, even though that is their job - pathetic!
Do yourself a favor and avoid working for this "wolf in sheep's clothing" company! They really don't care about you - their actions belie their words. They only care about themselves... don't find that out the hard way!
