Where to begin...
1.) Most people in upper management are military men with little to no respect for the staff they manage
2.) Everyone person is considered easily replaceable
3.) We go after bids we have NO shot at winning and LIE about our capabilities in said proposals
4.) Managers micromanage and have no real concept of putting together a winning proposal. Their way is the right way and nobody else has an opinion
5.) When we lose proposals we are told it is because of price but find out later it is because of compliance issues, yet nobody is held accountable. Pricing meetings are attended by VPs who just throw out random numbers they feel are adequate for the positions
6.) Staff turnover throughout the entire company is incredibly high
7.) We lie on proposals and to team members what our actual employee number is as well as what our revenue for the company is
8.) Upper management throws lower staff members under the bus for mistakes made instead of taking accountability for their work
9.) Never produced a winning proposal in the 6 months I worked there
10.) When we did self evaluations we were told a 3 means you're doing a great job, 4 means you're out of this world and 5 means you're sleeping with the boss. Found out later every manager reduced the ratings because we didn't have a budget to give out raises or cost of living increases
11.) Upper management will do whatever the CEO wants because if they are not YES MEN they will be fired.
12.) During exit interviews the company will ask leaving staff to write a nice review because the CEO checks Glassdoor every day, half of the good reviews on this website are written by current staff trying to fill vacancies.
