Management communication is labeled as "transparent" by management whereas there is a lot going on behind the scenes that is suddenly thrown onto employees as a surprise. Company strategy feels frantic and desperate.

My views below only pertain to my experience and might not be representative of how others feel. 1. I think your experience heavily depends on what team you are on because some managers are good and some bad. My manager had very narrow minded definition for what being “good” means so if you can’t meet that standard then tough luck. Even if you are really good at say 4 out of the 5 things, you won’t be recognized unless you check all the boxes. I think this is why I’ve seen a lot of people moving around internally or asking to move into different roles. 2. I also feel like some people are being promoted because they have a good relationship with their manager even though that person might not have met all the requirements. 3. The company is hiring a lot more junior people because the salary is not very competitive and the stock option is laughable. As the company grows it will just be a bunch of senior people, who got a lot of equity because they joined early, at the top and junior/less experienced people at the bottom, who are not as competent or financially motivated. UPDATE —————————————— The company leadership loves to make small changes that are immaterial and practically useless (ex: trying to make people feel more “connected”) and not addressing the No.1 concern raised by employees which is low compensation. The CEO also talks about how promotional timelines won’t be impacted but in reality people are getting promoted slower vs. before across the board.
