It’s leadership is still a bit old fashioned in policies like WFH, time tracking and salaries (for tech) which leads to high turnover and stress on the remaining employees. If you are able to learn the complicated software and handle stress well, you’ll receive a lot of it. A significant raise is only secured if you get a promotion and after the first, it becomes much harder. My department is mostly fair and often provides merit based incentives but I’ve spoken to colleagues in other locations where they suffer from terrible office politics.
If I only cared about the money, I would have left already but the daily time logging of each and every task is what gets me - it feels like a lack of trust and a waste of time that cuts into important tasks. Certainly there is a better way to gauge the productivity of intelligent adults.
However, they’re always trying to improve.
