- Rewards and salary raises do not follow any transparent structure and are sometimes favoritism based
- Employee appreciation = 0
- Pre-sales team sometimes gives out unrealistic timelines (even from crunch standards) just to get projects in which then falls on to the actual project teams who have to work nights and weekends with no work-life balance whatsoever
- People who have been known to perform well are loaded up with more work till they hit their capacity, whereas people who do not perform well are ignored and are allowed to have a merry time with lower work loads.
- The management seldom takes feedback from the actual workers and even then it's only from a vocal few. This feedback is either not used in any meaningful way, not relayed to the CEO or just plain and simple dismissed.
- The middle management also works as a info sink where info is withheld from workforce to the CEO, and vice versa so that the CEO and the workforce is left in the dark about some issues.
- The middle management also likes to meddle in project work which sometimes lead to project going off the track, where they then shift the blame to the actual project team.
- Middle management do make quite a lot of false promises about salaries, promotions and even process improvements.
- People who do not do any work are safeguarded while others have to work 2X more to cover the workload.
If you take a quick stroll through the office it will be apparent who actually works and who is busy doing other stuff like watching videos or facebooking.
