Too strict on open space work environment. Mandatory on-site presence enforced for 5 days/week with minimal flexibility despite going through peak years at high performance levels in remote and hybrid settings. No proper strategy for performance reviews. Promotions seem to happen mainly based on tenure rather than YTY performance. Company too focused on building pipelines rather than investing in securing a spot in the commercial market, which calls for constant organizational rearrangement. This makes yearly goals difficult to plan for and execute. Thereby making employee career development dependent on sheer luck instead of proactive planning. Expects continued development despite significant staff reduction and prolonged hiring freeze (over several years) for key functional positions.
