basically, management. this was a great company when it was smaller and independent and run by people who weren't just sharp but really took care of and listened to their people. when they were bought out (and now being sold again I hear), it was the beginning of the end. they became way more corporate and I mean that in the worst possible way. off and on re-org and shuffling of people which improved nothing and not really explained or justified. plenty of arrogant managers who wouldn't even acknowledge your existence unless they had to - but if you were at their level or higher, then the phony friendly bit would come out. the politics and cliques also got a lot worse. ignoring input and concerns from the staff. you know, the ones doing most of the work. their annual eval process was a joke. managers should be in continual, ongoing communication with their subordinates so they know what's what, not just at eval time. but communication mostly isn't there. lots of inconsistencies between depts or even teams within depts about working from home, flex hours, etc. then a lot of their best people started leaving and I cant say I blame them. in one dept good luck getting a job unless you're a young pretty female. in another, good luck getting a job unless you're indian. they also seemed to be getting obsessed with every so-called oppressed group around. we even got a corporate email telling us how they were going to give preferential hiring consideration to LGBTs. excuse me how is that not discrimination. hire someone based on their qualifications, anything else is BS. have to wonder how they would even know, is that an interview question now? it's all a shame.
