Hierachy, politics and powerpoint define this company - Anonymous employee State Street Employee Review

I worked for Global HR department. The culture and environment in this organization is declining and just feels sad. Management power wars are obvious and so is transferring of US jobs to "low cost locations" that will continue into the next year. My recommendation is to avoid this company if you want to control your how your career should be going (or not). Also noticed archaic management skill sets, where there is no respect for employees or individuals and you cannot communicate to management unless you have a specific powerpoint and maintain a strict minute agenda at the meeting to speak. Certainly not an environment that promotes and rewards ideas from within. Consultants and third parties are respected more than internal employees and management makes it known.
