- Constantly being given more and more responsibilities despite little change to compensation or title. It took senior management more than 4 months to "define roles" in my segment, only for those roles to be described so loosely that essentially nothing was out of scope for my role.
- Top performers are not rewarded with better compensation, just more responsibilities and workload. Oh wait, I forgot - there's the occasional chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card!
- Staffing has been a major problem since day one - constant reassurances that "we are hiring more headcount" to address this issue. Spoiler alert: the issue wasn't (and still isn't) addressed, and every high-performer on the team is still working 60+ hours per week.
- I never once in my multi-year tenure had an on-time annual review. I never once had an annual review that was less than 45 days late. I never once had the opportunity to negotiate my compensation or demonstrate why my performance has warranted a raise, because my review happens 2 months late and thus "budgets are set".
- Senior management is hired externally and has no experience with our product or delivery processes. No internal promotions above the middle management level.
- To call diversity an afterthought is probably too generous. There are 700+ employees at this company, but if you click on the "Leadership" page of the website, you will not see one single black executive.
