Leaders who don’t lead. Directors who don’t give directives. VPs who don’t even understand the nature of their job function. Mid level managers who understand the work better than anyone, but get trounced on by internal, political BS. Frequent layoffs. Frequent re-orgs. General instability and a lack of job security and psychological safety. You do a lot of tap facing to “safeguard” yourself, but you’re never quite sure how to meet the mark because there’s an ever-moving goal post. If you are a serious government relations or public policy professional… do NOT work here. There are too many silos and too much internal gatekeeping and clout-chasing. Not enough execution for the sake of necessity and job function. You will spend months circling in endless internal meetings and may ultimately accomplish nothing. Your literal political influence matters less than your in-house, company influence in this ridiculous policy shop. It’s also over organized with tons of redundancy and overlap, so get ready to butt heads with folks all the time in pursuit of your job.

All the bureaucracy of a large company but with none of the tops down guidance. A formerly bottoms up culture of empowerment has devolved into every decision being clouded by a near paralyzing fear of failure. Internal politics are at an all time high and the culture is in rapid decline.
