Avoid at all costs - Strategy Manager Vans Employee Review

By far the most toxic work environments I’ve ever experienced. The executive team is ineffective and people get promoted at the highest level based on politics, not skill or accomplishments. I didn’t realize until I left how slowly everything moves there. 10 alignment meetings are needed to make a simple decision. This is directly related to the toxic politics at the top. Very little thought is given to what is right for the brand, it’s basically every executive looking out for themselves. There’s also a sense of entitlement and lack of humility that permeates the brand. They are no longer relevant and it’s because everyone there believes their own hype. I do t see this turning around without major changes at the top.
