Senior leadership is mostly comprised of legacy consultants under the age of 35. Their inexperience leads to poor business strategy, lack of strong leadership, lack of humility, toxic positivity, and business buzzwords without action. While they choose what big projects to chase, they are not involved in the work to complete those projects. Additionally when a senior leader leaves the company (by choice or otherwise) they are kept on as consultants but it is unclear on the scope or timeline.
There is a lack of transparency on how the company is performing. Overall sales have stalled. Career progression isn’t likely within the org, even if you take on outside responsibilities. There is also a lack of transparency on turnover within the company.
Compensation (pay and benefits) is not great vs comparable companies.
Diversity and inclusion is nonexistent. Same with green initiatives. Women are frequently overlooked for promotions in manufacturing.
Laid off 1/3 of the workforce in 2023. Prior to that layoff, senior leadership got promotions.
Company culture has been an ongoing concern since the layoffs. They stopped sharing the employee surveys. Multiple examples of anyone who is brave enough to speak up with honest criticism is fired. If you do not fit into the “ideal employee” mold, you are considered not valuable and quickly let go.
CEO is out of touch, doesn’t seem to have a strong understanding of the business he is running, and rubs people the wrong way.
