A lot of unmet potential - Anonymous employee Unit Employee Review

The organization is incredibly unorganized, yet upper management appears oblivious to this major issue. There is a severe lack of cohesion between teams and processes, with individuals often following their own methods, leading to frequent confusion. People are leading departments or teams without a clear understanding of their roles, exacerbating the daily disarray. Most departments lack a clear career progression path, and annual raises are minimal. Numerous employees from various departments have voiced concerns, noting that most raises in 2023 failed to keep up with the high inflation rate. Additionally, significant pay disparities between departments have been highlighted repeatedly, yet no action has been taken. Despite financial struggles evidenced by recent layoffs, the decision was made to invest heavily in office space, abandoning the company's original remote-first approach. There is no reason to be in office and seems to only be required so those that have minimal social life outside of work can have some semblance of social normality through forced interactions throughout the day. Clients are still handled via Zoom, making the office environment disruptive and impractical for frequent client calls. Working from home would alleviate these problems, but instead, we are compelled to stick to outdated ideas about what defines a "grown-up" company.
