Good Values Work Life Balance Innovative Cross-Collaboration

Lots of Change Some areas of silos

Good work/life balance Benefits are excellent

Mismanaged by basically all levels of leadership so that they can’t keep good talent onboard (turnover is abundant), accompanied by yearly lay-offs, so it’s very hard to find stability in any form. For a relatively smaller sized company, the amount of reorgs and team shuffling that occurs is alarming. This instability continues within the workflow processes, which are basically nonexistent—it’s all dependent on which member of leadership you’re talking to and when, and cross-functional teams don’t seem to be on the same page most of the time. But that’s probably because organizational standards change on an almost weekly basis with no true communication, enablement, or follow-up enforcement—creating a toxic cycle for all. Employees are targeted and singled out depending on leadership’s current moods, and when formal issues are brought to HR, there is no resolve—only understanding nods with no real recourse. Because let’s be honest, HR is stuck in the same toxic cycle as everyone else. If anything, this job has set me back in my career due to the dysfunctional way of working that is the forced norm at this organization, and I don’t foresee that changing as long as the executive leaders stay planted where they are. There is a general lack of innovation or forward-thinking with each business decision that’s made. Overall, this place is truly a waste of time for those looking to strengthen and build their careers. You’ve been warned.
