- Constant leadership changes/additions. You will see C-Suites/Directors hired/“retire” at an alarming rate. It seemed as though Integris just created unnecessary leadership positions at random. No change, reform, or betterment of the company/people ever came from it.
- Your experience within the “culture” is highly dependent on your personality, not the product of your work. Regardless of what department you are in, if you don’t fit in - you don’t fit in. If you want a promotion or transfer, you have to “befriend” your managers/leadership instead of being highly successful in your current role.
- Issues with transparency. There seemed to be a lot of hush-hush, especially around the large organizational changes. I don’t believe leadership understands the impact that changing departments, titles, regions, managers, etc. has on employees. Grievances were always met with a “we have to do what we have to do”.
- An extravagant appearance. Integris covers up their shortcomings with fancy events/parties, social media marketing, “leadership podcasts”, and employee events. These things may look wonderful on the outside, but have no effect on the people inside. People value being heard, respected and challenged more than eating pizza once a quarter.
