Very caught up with "who you know" at the company. Super political. Very caddy. A lot of these people refer someone who they worked with in the past or who worked for them for positions. So if you come in taking the place of someone who also was part of this previous crew, you're chastised. If you're not immediately part of the "it" crew, you're screwed. There seriously is not leadership or management (or at least not from what I saw!). If your leader isn't new to his or her position, then they likely are going to do absolutely nothing to teach you, help you, guide you...you're expected to this all on your own or with the help of your team, who all pretty much look out for themselves. Very sad because not at all what I expected from this organization. There's a lot (and I mean A LOT) of talk about being in a safe, diverse, inclusive, place to work....I kid you not, that is not the case. And you're really deterred from speaking up because leadership will know it came from you. There is unfair treatment that is very obvious, and again, if you speak up you're considered a complainer and not a team player. You're encouraged to participate in all of the groups and volunteer and be seen etc etc, however, that goes completely unnoticed or appreciated, especially by leadership. This was very sad to me because it was one of the things that sucked me in. Also, very little opportunity for movement
