I had high expectations coming into the position, despite being warned by other current employees that I shouldn't take the job. The morale is embarrassing low and senior management is aware of this, but does not seem to care. My guess is 60% of the employees are looking for other work and are only staying because of the decent pay - most do not seem to be truly invested in the work and many complain about their jobs on a daily basis. Because of the low morale, its also creating a backstabbing environment and causing massive divides within teams.
The leadership team or "ELT" as they refer to themselves as, walk around like some mythical creature that nobody is supposed to talk to or look at. They have no vision of how to run a company, lead or inspire their teams or communicate to people like they are humans. They hide in their offices, rarely communicate with their direct reports except to criticize their work or level of dedication to the company. It is the most demoralizing environment I have ever been a part of. Its completely unprofessional on many levels - even the "ELT" talks negatively about their peers which makes for very awkward and uncomfortable situations.
The saddest part is there are a lot of very hard working, talented individuals that are trying to make a difference, but are not allowed to because of "ELT" and their lack of experience leading teams. If you want to work in a place that you feel you're making a real difference or want to have a voice then stay far, far away from here.
