- Despite having positive, impactful work performance and peer reviews in less than a year of employment, new management that takes over will take advantage of at-will employment states to terminate people with unsound, unjustified reasons so they, i.e., can have other people take over duties.
They will not provide any warnings or provide any 1-on-1s to discuss issues in an attempt to remedy. Instead, they will schedule a bogus meeting later in the week on your calendar to "sync up" and then surprise you along with an HR rep at that meeting to tell you they are letting you go. Once you get over the shock of the true purpose of this meeting and despite providing proof to HR to state your case, you remember you're an at-will state and they can fire for you any legal reason whatsoever. It's a very unprofessional and very unkind tactic, and it clearly displays their perception of employees overall. Doesn't matter if you're a Show cattle, you're still cattle to them.
This obviously has an affect on morale and productivity as teams are already overworked and their is already a lot of churn in engineering and product teams.
BTW, other people also have been terminated there with similar tactics above.
- A lot of processes are undefined or not optimized. They remained this way despite attempts to fix this due to lack of leadership direction or prioritization.
- Visible internal politics with leadership have a detrimental effect on direct & indirect reports.
- Poor work/life balance. 16+ hour days.
- D&E: The only department not lacking in people of color was in HR. Teams were mostly European based.
