Revolving door, no loyalty, burdensome processes - Anonymous employee Michael Baker International Employee Review

Pros

Fairly easy to get hired...they have such a revolving door that they're always looking for people.

Cons

Revolving door at the upper management level = pervasive insecure feeling throughout company. They just booted their COO...although he'd been in the position a record 2+ years....this coming a year after terminating 4 senior/executive vice presidents. Legacy employees get the shaft on salary. People that left the company and are rehired (sometimes years later) are making more than current staff in the same position. Endless, burdensome project management processes. Owner of the company is a venture capitalist whose portfolio includes a company running the border concentration camps. ie - getting paid $750+/per day/per caged child. Culture of fear: threatened to have your performance review impacted for EVERYTHING from turning in your time sheet late, to not completing training. You're reminded daily that they don't trust you with your time (when you log in to your computer) and are warned that they have access to your email and instant messaging. HUGE disconnect between Corporate Communication/Operations/C-Suite. Zero upper management buy-in for diversity/inclusiveness programs.
