OCLC reviews

Entire culture changing, and not for better. Loyalty and longevity is no longer valued. New regime creates the feeling that everyone here before them is expendable. They talk about needing to change, but they are only bringing in people from their work pasts and programs and softwares from their past, so while they say we must change, they are only changing geography.

• Lack of transparency in communication from leadership • Career growth often tied to personal relationships with the executive management team rather than merit or performance • Low morale was neither acknowledged nor addressed by leadership; employees who raised concerns often faced repercussions • Leadership is unreceptive to feedback unless it aligns with their own views • Cronyism in leadership hiring, resulting in unqualified individuals leading teams of experienced contributors • CEO appears more focused on personal brand than the organization, and has publicly ridiculed employee survey feedback in all-staff meetings • Unlike other organizations I’ve worked for, OCLC leadership did not prioritize coaching or motivating employees to grow with the organization • Compensation below industry standards, particularly for technical roles • General lack of trust and respect amongst employees for executive leadership
