Toxic culture and poor management overshadow good infrastructure - QA Franklin Templeton Employee Review

1. There is a significant amount of toxic culture present. 2. QA leadership and mid-management often threaten and pressure teams to deliver in a short timeframe, rather than providing clear direction and engaging in negotiations with other parties. 3. They are damaging the careers of vendor employees; the fault lies with both the vendor and the department leadership, who shift blame collectively and demotivate team members. This situation makes practical contract negotiations challenging. 4. There is strong pressure to work late hours and on national holidays. 5. There is excessive internal politics, and no standard processes have been established by senior management. 6. Management can assign any task at any time, on any day.
