-30% or so of the most senior Project Engineers have left this department for better opportunities in the past 12 months. Without dedicated training or refilling those positions our foundation has crumbled.
-Payband information is abysmal and hidden from the employee, even though they have numerous times said they are freely available(This seems to be department and org chart dependent). The HR cases saying they "hope" to have these available this year and constant Career framework alterations points to they just don't know what to do with the Project Engineering department.
-Raises seem to have no rhyme or reason. We are told it is based on criticality, time in position, and performance. Supervisors/Managers have told us they are not a part of those discussions, so who makes these decisions? It seems to be "have your department all within 90% of the median" but if no one knows the median how is this determined?
-Poor Lab network infrastructure and automation capabilities with almost no maintenance or personnel dedicated to its support. The solution has been to allow it to limp along since if we make enough diving catches the e-suite does not see the benefit to cost. Our largest customers are now seeing impacts from these issues, they will only continue to get worse.
