- Management lacks focus, preferring short term results even if the "results" interfere with the long-term vision they are pushing - Unclear promotion criteria within teams - Lack of clarity in job responsibility and title - Although training material on DEI and harassment is insightful and well done, support from management is lacking, even given evidence of toxic work environments
