Draper reviews about "upper management"

Mandatory injections of a sketchy rushed "v a x i n e" for a sickness that poses less threat than many other common sicknesses, in the face of obvious and rampant censorship. They pushed this policy with a boatload of lies. Employees will likely unionize over this. The upper management caved over the parking garage issue. They decided to listen to the corrupt city bureaucrats rather than to their employees and now the parking costs have skyrocketed which disproportionately affected the younger employees.

Some disorganization by upper management

In the past recent years, with the change of new management, the company took a turn for the worse and upper management ruled with a draconian attitude. My Manager was disrespectful, condescending , created a hostile/toxic environment and displayed Implicit Bias attitudes towards me and several other minority employees. Even some of my non minority employees were telling me that the manager's actions were characterized to one who is Implicitly Bias. Many complaints were made to Human Resources and Legal and to my knowledge, no actions were taken against that Manager. I was once told by one of my manager, "You have everything to make it in this company except for one thing". I went down the list of what that possibly might be and every-time was told "no that's not it" . The only words i did not say, is my skin color and the implicit bias attitude of upper management at Draper, at the time.

The commute into Cambridge can be tough, but flexible work schedules have made this easier over the past few years.

- Toxic people in power in specific areas of company - Bullying from middle management - Lack of vision for company + competition between business areas and projects

A lot of the time projects turnover quickly. Upper Management has had misguided focus which resulted in top talent leaving the company.

Draper has fully embraced the self-assessment. You have to make your own goals and assess yourself. You have to make your own case for being promoted - literally a powerpoint that gets sent to upper management where it will get ignored. Draper proudly pays consistently less than commercial competition (FAANG or anything one tier below). Engineers have been using Draper as a stepping stone to FAANG companies, resulting in a consistent drain of talent.
