There has been a drastic shift after the re-organization: portfolios are siloed, which encourages competition instead of collaboration. It is very disheartening to see other teams receive resources while having yours taken away. Management not only doesn’t talk to each other, frequently using their employees as middle men, but can be out of control. Of the same token, management has to do their job: I haven’t had my last two quarter check ins and no one has mentioned this upcoming one, and the quarter ends tomorrow. How are we supposed to grow and learn without this necessary effort by our managers? Management sets the tone for the team and many teams are in various states or despair because of this. I have never seen morale so incredibly low. Reasons include the fact that they are competing with their colleagues, have not received a raise but see new hires often, there isn’t transparency on salaries when jobs are posted leading to a feeling of being underpaid if waters is hiding that information, being micromanaged, not having ownership of projects, not feeling appreciated because there is no celebration after launch - but seeing other teams receiving this kind of benefit. There is a general feeling of loyalty not being rewarded but being spit on, and finally, HR being invisible, inaccessible, and often quite unhelpful. I wasn’t going to leave a review but seeing HR comment on these and encouraging people to seek their HR manager is laughable. If you’re reading this: WHO ARE YOU? No one knows who their HR rep is, even the organization chart makes it difficult. With so many people remote you can’t even find people on site. Make yourselves known, be recognizable walking around the cafeteria and hallways, be friendly, be helpful.
