Still Struggling to Retain Top Talent

Associate director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent salary and good benefits Sabbatical every 6 years Pipeline focus is improving

Cons

Still reorganizing and consolidating job functions leading to more waves of layoffs. Cuts and reorg made without true understanding of impact to the company or to the groups that have to take on more responsibilities. Company mantra: Do more with less and do it faster and cheaper. Poor morale as an inevitable result.
