Speaking for Validation Department. In a nutshell:
- Extremely poor management, no clear direction, and limited communication with management unless there is a perceived wrongdoing occuring.
- Heavy focus on a broken 'metrics' performance system. Positive/Constructive feedback is nonexistent.
- Lack of transparency. Pushed for quality over quantity while increasing efficiency naturally. Was met with a 'do as you're told' demeanor from Team Leads and Management.
- Favoritism/Nepotism/Cliquey
- No incentives to do your best work
- Inflexibility with scheduling
- Encountered clock-watching management
- No room for innovation/creativity
- The actual job can get repetitive, but that could be offset by a less draining environment
- Unnecessary office politics. Team leads hoarding knowledge to maintain their own competitive advantage.
