The Work -Overly aggressive reforecasting cadence that consumes way more time than it's worth, very limited analysis -Be prepared to spend hours explaining variances that are smaller than 1% (why?!) -Mundane busy work with unnecessary timelines, basically just reporting the news on a weekly basis. Lots of legacy work with no explanation as to why -Scheduled Sunday work -0 organization from upper management/leadership. Everything is due the next day. More late nights than its worth, constant moving targets -Yes-man leadership, upper management has never said no to a request for the finance team, even though the team was reduced ~50% in a matter of months. Constantly looking to get more granular in their reporting but refuse to replace employees who left -Above the director levels, not always sure what people do. The Culture -Hard to say the culture was bad when, in fact, there really wasn't a culture at all. Working in a void. -Most members of the finance team seem pretty unhappy -No communications from upper management. Everything goes unaddressed (layoffs, people leaving, etc.) -Lack of respect from upper management -Being the absolute last people in the office every night gets pretty bothersome -Embarrassingly bad holiday schedule The Long Term -No real avenues for upward mobility -Very top heavy: 2 VP's of Finance managing effectively the same team, as well as a CFO, as well as the business unit leaders you will also semi report to -No feedback has been taken seriously, things continue to get worse. -Constantly reshuffling the finance team to make it seem like they are filling the gaps from employees who left, but really just spreading the work around -0 forward momentum. Just a middling ads and leads business with little direction. Equity is worthless since new management took over
