Great History - Uncertain Future

Pros

Historically a great place to work (challenging yet rewarding). Highly respected with agency plant. Track record of success financially.

Cons

Change in leadership creates a high degree of certainty for the future. Although executives discuss values often, their actions (particularly of a few key influential leaders - particularly CIO) do NOT reflect those values - at all. However, they maintain in-group or favoured status. Their focus on themselves and their departments first, make working in any other group extremely difficult. Speaking up in a way that is perceived to challenge these execs is career limiting. Strategy lacks coherence and is disjointed between business units and LOBs. Generally a "we better try everything and see what works" approach to business planning creates an inability to coalesce on a solid business plan and has the rest of the employee force very overworked chasing the priority and strategy of the day. Ratings below would have been much higher 2-3 years ago, but changes in leadership is changing culture quickly.

Since you're a current employee, you're encouraged to discuss these sentiments with your HR Manager so the situation can be reviewed at the appropriate levels.

It's always nice to read positive words about our co-workers. Thank you for the advice about favoritism and micro-management. We'll share your comments with the appropriate parties for review.
