Poor management: The management team appears disorganized and disconnected from the day-to-day challenges faced by employees. Feedback is either ignored or dismissed, and there's a general lack of transparency in decision-making processes.
Inadequate Tools and Resources: Despite being a tech-focused company, the tools provided are outdated and often unreliable. Many of the processes are manual, which is both time-consuming and prone to errors. This significantly hampers productivity and makes it difficult to meet project deadlines.
Unrealistic Workload: The workload is overwhelming, with expectations far exceeding what can reasonably be accomplished in a standard workweek. Leadership wouldn't listen to us about the KPIs they set, which were near impossible to meet without the quality of work suffering. This leads to high stress levels and burnout among team members.
Toxic Positivity Culture: One of the most frustrating aspects is the toxic positivity culture. Any attempts to raise legitimate concerns or issues are met with dismissive responses that emphasize staying positive no matter what. This discourages open communication and makes it difficult to address and resolve real problems.
Leadership Betrayal: The leadership team cannot be trusted. They will make promises of promotions and career advancement, only to retract them due to personal biases and issues. It's common to see deserving employees being overlooked or even demoted without just cause, fostering a sense of betrayal and distrust.
DEIJB Hypocrisy: While the company promotes Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Belonging (DEIJB) initiatives, some leaders do not exemplify these values. In fact, DEIJB principles have been used against employees, particularly those who are neurodivergent, creating an environment where inclusivity feels more like a slogan than a practice.
Insufficient Compensation and Benefits: Despite increased responsibilities due to job description changes, compensation adjustments are not made accordingly.
