Terrible work environment and even worse leadership

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The actual work environment is very typical for any desk job. Not much more positive I can say.

Cons

Where to start. The leadership is HORRENDOUS. People work their butts off to get some recognition, but we are rewarded with a fraction of our bonuses, low if any raises and mass layoffs. The entire work place is like a factory, where leadership just tells you what they want, and you do it. The credit goes to the highest up manager on the project and the company says so long to the contractors that put in the actual work.

Pros

Seemed relatively stable from constant layoffs but not sure how it will be with Baxter at the helm.

Cons

Employee voices did not seem to be heard when it came to project warning flags (over promising in an unrealistic time frame). They would just push employees to work faster even when it was expressed the effort would still not meet the promised deadline. There were no checks and balances on middle management. Career opportunities and advancement is just talk and dishonest.
