Close-minded Executives Behind on the Times
Pros
Benefits which are being chipped away
Cons
Executive leadership has dictated go to office for all within 50 miles "as the crow fly" regardless of employees being hired as remote. Some employees 20 years working remote being required to go to an office for the first time. There is no empathy for the impact to work/life balance, family, mental or physical health impact. No additional pay to compensate for the new need to commute. Teams working with a global workforce are expected to be flexible, yet the company is not providing flexibility to being in an office. There is a push to reduce labor costs. In addition to offering a volunteer severance to qualified employees, there has been 2 mass layoffs in the last 12 months. Looking at the employees selected for layoffs, it is extremely obvious this was based on pay. When the CEO was asked about layoffs in all-hands, his response was absolutely there would be layoffs and everyone should feel good about that and want layoffs to happen. There is no culture, the company does not live its values, and there is only a focuses on the bottom line. The focus is to present the company as profitable in preparation for the potential sell/IPO. It is no surprise though customers are leaving as they are being impacted by the decisions of poor leadership. There is an extreme lack of direction. Reorganizations happening every 3 months and lend to the inability to have any idea who owns or does what. There is not enough time to understand and learn your role before it is changed again. Leadership dictates we must all to work in an office to be more innovative and deliver quicker being ignorant to the impact of their decisions. When looking at reviews, take into consideration this was two excellent companies that were merged so many of the prior reviews do not reflect the current company.
