I have been with this company for a decade now and have seen the company passed around numerous owners, churned through two CEOs, and undergone several restructurings and layoffs. Morale is at an all time low now as the company drives to replace ideas with consultants, processes with half-baked automations, and people with outsourced workers who are paid poorly even by the standards of the region. The company knows this, but rather than doing anything materially meaning about it, they will give you a mental health app subscription and suggest that you to cope. The culture is extremely unhealthy. Collaboration is more often punished than rewarded, and projects are set-up to fail from the onset due to a lack of management buy-in and funding. Many of the areas of the business are outwardly hostile to each other, emboldened by the behavior of their Director or VP. If you require interaction beyond your department, you are unlikely to get much support here as there isn’t much incentive for leadership to act outside of their fief’s narrow interest. Skill and professional development opportunities are nearly non-existent. It just isn’t one of the company’s goal’s to build a body of knowledge. Little effort is put into cross-functional sharing, no investment into R&D, and not much appreciation for internal innovation. The company, however, is glad to hire armies of third-rate consultants to compensate. Also, the benefits are atrocious. The healthcare is too expensive to actually use, with many of the plans having a high premium, deductible, copay, and co-insurance. The company leadership has been asked about this, and their response was concerning, to say the least.
