Stand Together reviews

SO MANY. Stand Together is all talk and no action. They will say one thing and then never do it. For instance, they'll say that they value their employees, yet they only care about what value you can create for them and the organization, not you as an individual. There are office politics and favoritism and everyone in my department is severely underpaid by at least 20-30%. You'll talk with your boss about issues like these and they will dance around the question and will ask you to "prove" your worth. Except... there isn't an accurate scale to measure yourself against. Everything is arbitrary and your worth is based only on someone's opinion if you are providing value or not. There is no clear way to measure anything. So while my department is severely underpaid and get nothing, other departments get bonuses at Christmas, more competitive pay, and are praised by leadership and feel appreciated and that their contributions are valued. There is favoritism and office politics and a backwards and hypocritical culture here. If you don't drink the Kool-aid, you'll not be seen as a good employee. This place doesn't work like the rest of the world, and they are forcing everyone to come back into the office, even during the Pandemic. Also there are no opportunities for growth here. People have been at my position for 5+ years with no chances for advancements. No emphasis on D&I.

The organization is too fast-paced. They are all for promoting change but not allowing enough time for change to take place will make you dizzy and wondering why that project you just spent all of your time working on is now scrapped or just simply not given enough time to let the dust settle. With the many opportunities within the network, I have found that cronyism is most certainly a thing there. The one thing the fight against they participate in. There are many people who are in positions they should not be in but if it does not work out for them or if they rub shoulders with the right people they will just get moved to another group to stir confusion there instead. High turnover.
