Thanks for sharing your feedback. It’s wonderful to hear your supervisor is supportive of your growth. Periods of change, for the right minded, can be tremendous opportunities for personal and professional growth. Please keep open and ongoing conversations with your team about priorities and how changes are being carried through, especially during periods of restructuring.

Pros

High quality colleagues and good technical knowhow

Cons

Uncommunicative and substandard senior management that cares more about command and control than results. Data only matters when it supports their pre-defined conclusions.

Thanks for your input. It's gratifying to hear that you consider your colleages to be such an asset. We pride ourselves on attracting and retaining the best people, so we appreciate you affirming that we're succeeding. That said, it sounds like you feel we could be doing more to build better communication higher up in the organization. At your level you are considered part of the leadership team, so we hope that you are communicating your challenges and ideas to colleagues, your manager, and the HR team. Make sure your voice is heard!
