Bad management from 3rdQ 2018

Business Outlook

Pros

Good medical benefits and good branding

Cons

Its sad to see such great Company have weak and extremely bad management. Weak HR and despite all could be avenue for staff to voice up does not work. Global just simply leave it to region to resolve. Region will just cover up. Staff who are make redundant realised after departure most of job junction got passed around the office. When current staff protest the job scope was considered for outsourcing. Its seems no evaluation was done and its not due to losses. Some staff gets away with rude behaviours and creates very toxic environment.

Pros

- Good, smart people with the best of intentions - Great company health benefits and 401(k) plan - Fantastic mission that everyone truly supports and understands

Cons

- Too much unnecessary change being passed off as "Agile" leaves many feeling lost and tired - Lack of clarity about how the mission translates into specific, actionable goals at the function, team and then individual employee levels - Pay is well-below market in the most critical technical areas - Cross-functional, matrix alignment hides performance issues and drains accountability from the business - The culture sucks in our most innovative areas of the business - TONS of work enters the funnel, but very little comes out the end, leaving one feeling exhausted and confused at times
