Toxic executives, red tape everywhere, clueless HR, Old dog set in it's ways. Loss of talent and good people due to HR policies and executive politics. Don't expect to come in, demonstrate excellent work, and move up. Policies reward hiring from outside vs nurturing from within. They latch onto anything that may prevent upward movement of internal employees. Announcements banning midyear promotions are commonplace. Tend to bring in clueless management to manage superior internal candidates. Soul-crushing.
Senior management tends to be inept, unknowledgeable, political, petty and fake. Prepare to play the blame game constantly. Prepare to kowtow to clients and throw away any ethics you may still have. Yes, sales will sell the impossible because they're made to be so desperate. Go look at any of the sales planning departments. Prepare to spend more time proving you need resources to executives and finance rather than doing your job.
Projects and timelines are a joke. The lack of retention of technologically capable talent results in projects that sit in queue well beyond their scopes. Production and tech roles are filled via contractors while upper management is filled via full time roles. Results in a blackhole of talent.
Decisions hinge on the whims and subjective opinion of the President. Overall air of doom and gloom. Capable people are run into the ground and go unrewarded while petty politickers rise up. Never witnessed so many managers give crap to direct reports for taking vacation or asking to work from home. Hope you get a good one if you're thinking of working here. Don't expect to be inspired here, abandon all hope ye who enter here.
