World Wide Technology reviews

Over my 5+ years here, I've grown pretty tired of the core values stuff. Everyone gets very preachy about the core values/key business concepts, but it's hard to find anyone who actually puts them into practice consistently and fairly. I hate hearing the words "embrace change" because it always seems to sound like "shut up because your opinion doesn't matter" and "we're doing this whether you like it or not." Also, the "transparency" they claim to have is non-existent and they are constantly changing things when they should sometimes leave things as they are. When changes do happen, the middle management team is often misinformed of left out by upper management as to what's really going to happen or when, and upper management (especially VP's) never give real answers to why they're doing what they do. Specific example, a VP told us he "felt" a change he was making would be good, but then later said he didn't know what the team he was changing actually did and had no evidence that this change would actually be a benefit.

Sometimes the company still functions as a small organization, even though it's global. Because of the culture there tends to be a mentality of "oh, well, we'll figure it out". When in reality there's a process to be followed.
