Nordstrom reviews

Promotions and hiring decisions are made based on politics and things not relevant to the candidate's strength or contributions to the org i.e. a manager will push the team hard to hire someone based on their race or sex instead of how they performed in interviews Extreme favoritism throughout the org (e.g. to such an extent where favored people can publicly threaten/berate the non-favored) Politics to the extreme. Technical decisions are not made based on the strength of the argument but who makes it and their political connections. Nordstrom values the leadership tries to push are just a pipe dream. "Nordstrom nice" used to mean something, now it just means smile at the person while you backstab them.

A lot of effort goes into telling a god story but the reality is most of the employees that have made Nordstrom what it is today are running out the door fast. The culture of Nordstrom is shifting from being a company that puts it s customers first to being overly profit driven and expense strapped. Too many initiatives but not enough man power to support them. Executive and Director heavy. The inverted pyramid that Nordstrom lives by has no middle layer anymore. There really is no path forward to grow as they now hire from the outside to fill most open positions.
