Inexperienced, untrained, unmotivated, and directionless managers - Research Scientist Waters Employee Review

Pros

The company is being mismanaged and driven into the ground.

Cons

The unsuccessful reorganization has resulted in an influx of inexperienced, unmotivated, unqualified managers who refuse to undergo training. These individuals do not align with the organization's vision, undermine senior management and staff, feign productivity while micromanaging, and exhaust dedicated employees. Managers, if you are unhappy watching your teams grow and flourish and feel insecure when talented employees are appreciated, you are not the right person for this job. Remember, being a manager isn't all about you. How some managers treat their team is well known and contributes to the low morale. Potential new hires, don't fall for the hypocrisy and lies during your interview. Deceitful managers must be dismissed.

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
