TIAA reviews

- Implementation of Agile/SAFe is a charade. Business and IT senior managers will decide what you need to deliver and when you need to deliver it by before you're even graced with looking at the project. It's waterfall in sheep's clothing. - The obsessive drive for business' delivery demands hurts everyone, including business itself. They'd rather keep driving a car with two flat tires instead of taking 20 minutes to pull over and fix the tires. - Middle / Upper-middle management is very hit and miss. There are a select few good ones. There are also... other managers.

The company is long on the blame game and short on accountability. Effort over results gets rewarded and that’s how so many leaders keep their jobs. There’s so much overhead in the way of support functions and too little investment is made in revenue generating roles. The HR department, for example, is loaded with people running around seemingly looking busy but whom are adding very little in the way of tangible results. The answer to their problems seems to be a shuffling of the proverbial deck chairs as opposed to truly holding the leadership accountable for a lack of value creation. Hiring managers, for example, are on their own when it comes to finding talent and yet we keep adding resources in Talent Acquisition and the leadership continues to evade accountability.
