Hard work and being strategic isn’t enough
Pros
There are small pockets of amazing people. The vacation buy program for corporate employees is helpful for working parents. The wellness center is convenient and cost effective.
Cons
Over time, we’ve seen many of our top performers leave or be let go. It seems that employees who are adept at navigating office politics or who return as interns often advance more quickly, regardless of their work ethic or intelligence. Those who challenge strategic decisions in pursuit of better outcomes feel undervalued and often ignored. Loyalty and dedication do not translate into higher pay or promotion opportunities. The company’s use of the word “agile” is an excuse for the company’s consistent short-term strategic vision/inability to follow an aligned strategic vision.
