Disorganization, Chaos, and Undervaluing Talent—A Masterclass
Pros
-Work life balance (sometimes) -Nice competent people at the bottom of the totem pole
Cons
- Completely chaotic, thanks to endless re-orgs that somehow make everything worse. - Rolling layoffs that axed top talent while keeping plenty of dead weight.. - A proudly Eurocentric company where closing deals is impossible because your colleagues are on vacation for half the year. - U.S. employees are expected to grind nonstop, including through holidays, while German employees enjoy their *actual* work-life balance. Three weeks of vacation? Pathetic. - HR has a stunning track record of messing up paychecks and benefits—because who needs financial stability? - Speaking of HR, they’re less of a resource and more of a corporate defense squad. If you need help, good luck!!!! - IT thought it would be *hilarious* to send a fake phishing email promising a 5% raise—then acted *shocked* when 15% of employees fell for it. Maybe because they’re all *grossly underpaid*? - “Cost of living” adjustments are a joke—when they happen at all. And when they do, they’re borderline insulting. - Promotions? Career growth? Hahahahahah.... - The executive board is a diversity-free zone. If you’re not a white man, don’t bother.
