I’ve experienced at least 5 rounds of layoffs with management structure constantly in flux. People with little or no experience in their roles are promoted because they have relationships with upper management. There’s no performance measures or career paths and if your opinions conflict with certain execs, consider yourself part of the next layoff round. There’s a lack of innovation or employees who care to grow- most are there to collect a paycheck & go home. Management fosters that by instilling command & control style that inhibits innovation. The new CIO seems to be making changes to push IT in a better direction, but the old executive management guard are still influential and somewhat resistant to meaningful change. Consultants & coaches flooded the company a few years ago, but only few substantive changes remained and continue to be practiced. Again, people are nice and approachable, but there’s constant change and inability to stick to a cohesive strategy. They say their people are valued, but people aren’t developed and some my best co-workers have been laid off creating an atmosphere of fear and chaos. Finally, they give too much power to internal stakeholders who can’t make a decision and use others as a scapegoat for their indecisiveness. I’ve seen it happen.

- hardly ever had anything to work on (10-15 hours of actual, real work per week) - coworkers were just there to earn a living, didn't seem like tech or software enthusiasts - seemed like a place where careers went to die - company costs grew linearly with revenue, there were no economies of scale because they applied the same manual labor thinking to new projects as they grew. (i.e. get a new customer, add employees, they do manual work to support new customer, net revenue didn't change much)
