Micromanagement is the word of the day. The TA program is inadequate for the size of the program. There is zero onboarding program, which yields lots of mistakes, oversights, and errors, especially when you choose to replace experienced recruiters with contract recruiters without technical backgrounds. Off the shelf purchases for systems that don't seamlessly pair together makes for an environment of constantly re-reporting the same information over and over again. Senior leadership is on a perpetual hire, dump, rinse and replace cycle, so nothing ever gets accomplished. They talk about culture all the time, but it does not really mean anything. The culture in TA is not something that I would promote, because it's highly toxic and micromanaged.
I have had several directors and senior directors in TA during my tenure here, so there is clearly something wrong about the culture in TA, if you have constant turn over. It's a highly toxic, fear driven environment. And you'll hear the term "radical candor" tossed around here like a cool buzz word. Don't believe it. It's just a talking point on a slide that sounds good. Senior leadership from the top down is glaringly absent, and they pat themselves on the back for work that makes zero difference to actually hitting the hiring plan. No one is listening. No one cares.
