Very little has changed since the company's founding in the early 1980's, including the senior managers and their 1980's Wall Street-era 'command and control' management style.
Employees are required to badge in and badge out of the building, and the in and out times are displayed on the company-wide email system for everyone to see and judge. If you forget to enter an expense report or forget to your employee badge and require a temporary badge too many times in a month, your corporate email is turned off to "teach you a lesson".
The company proudly maintains a 'flat' organizational structure and an 'entrepreneurial' culture. Unfortunately, in a company of 16,000+ employees, this translates to a chaotic work environment with little coordination across departments (and sometimes within departments!) and extremely limited opportunities for career progression.
Senior management, who are about as white, straight, male and middle-aged/ elderly as you would expect from a company that straddles the infamously homogenous industries of technology and finance, have very little incentive to change anything or to promote people who don't look exactly like them.
