Disappointing talent experience
Pros
Great consulting frameworks Great PowerPoint templates Made good friends Loved the travel Excellent community service focus
Cons
-Too much hierarchy for the sake of hierarchy -No effective onboarding program for experienced hires -Feedback system is broken - disagreeing or providing an alternative viewpoint is not acceptable -Several leaders and managers unfriended me on LinkedIn when I was let go due to a pandemic that was not my fault (even though I’m in the alumni network) -I was given 24 hours to get all my files when laid off due to Covid as if I were some kind of criminal -When reapplying post-Covid, I could not get an interview for my lost position even though I was not fired and promised eligibility of rehire when I was let go -Being let go while fully staffed on a project with a highly productive team and top in performance ratings for no reason other than “Covid” -Other people in same job who were paid less (some were even on a performance improvement plan) than I were not let go due to Covid -When I took my female partner to the Christmas party in 2019 (and outed myself), I felt my Coach and other senior leaders at my office were less helpful in the types of projects I was considered for after that. I’ll never forget the look on the managing partner’s face when I introduced her to him.
