Executive leadership will admit “this is a completely different company now” but it’s 100% in the worst way possible. TTX no longer carries the industry weight it once did. Half of the employee force was lost due to the move and most of the new hires act like everyday is their first lived experience.
The company’s finances are clearly on fire. Exemplified by the new shoebox sized cubicles, low income, millennial-esque barn wedding venue chosen for the Christmas party, and FORCING employee to engage in outdoor extracurricular networking under the guise of personal enjoyment…Not quite the downtown Chicago rooftop experience we were once accustomed too.
Leadership is chaotic and most of middle management is compromised of narcissists who actively belittle and berate their employees instead of encouraging and aiding in their development. The bonus is managers lie and gossip about you behind your back! HR does nothing about it.
Seriously, people here act like they work for the Pentagon. The work generally isn’t too stressful and you don’t get paid OT, but that doesn’t stop the company suck ups from thinking they’re Cornelius Vanderbilt.
