Great organization with amateur management - Anonymous employee DKMS Employee Review

This isn’t a “Where do I begin?” situation. The issues at DBC are systemic and can be traced back to the incredibly inept, incompetent, and at times childish directors/managers who are making the decisions. The organization is amazingly dependent on the flagship offices in Germany. In many cases, this is used as an excuse by managers as to why many of the problems are existent. While this is the cause for several problems facing DBC, the majority of these issues exist as result of the lack of foresight and vision at the management level in the US. The managers are quicker to place the blame of a problem than they are at attempting to resolve it. This finger pointing mentality has led to a culture of mistrust and anxiety when dealing with interdepartmental relations. Any issues presented to the Human Resources department fall on deaf ears and in most cases are never discussed again. Annual goals are mostly unascertainable as a result of the great success seen in the flagship offices. These unrealistic goals hinder an employee’s annual bonus and morale on a day to day basis. Decisions on long term processes and internal systems are often altered weeks, if not days, after implementation. The mission is unlike any other but the morale is not reflective of that. I would recommend that DBC get it together but I do honestly feel that ship has sailed.
