Stable Employment But Lack of Accountability
Pros
- Stable and reasonable hours. - Benefits are good. - A good manger can help with professional development and give you interesting projects.
Cons
- Lack of accountability for poor performance, people rarely take feedback and improve. Certain departments throughout my time had persistent problems and tenured employees often promoted by default. No matter how many times these issues blocked my workflows or cost the company money it was never adaquately addressed. - Despite how advertised this is not an equitable place to work. Different teams and departments operate under varying rules and it is totally on an ad hoc basis. This can lead to exceptionally frustrating conversations regarding compensation, working hours, and RTO in particular. - HR department was unresponsive when needed and often dodged questions if the answers were unpalatable. For example, when I was promoted internally I was kept on the same wage until the mid-year review and this was communicated to me only after accepting the role. Then in addition when my salary was adjusted to the new role, it was below what was initially advertised, which was at best misleading and at worst manipulative.
