Mediocre management undermines talented employees' potential
Pros
Good company, great values, excellent customer centricity, strong financials.
Cons
Employees who are great actors and know manager ego massage techniques have a long career here. Employees who are smart intelligent qualified and add value have a short life. In short mediocre minds are promoted and smart minds are made to work for mediocreticity minds. The management only collects reports, god knows what they do with so many reports. I feel it's not a insurance company but a report making company. The managers seeking these reports hardly understand or read the reports. Once I was frustrated and ended up giving a totally wrong report, I was appreciated for sending the report ! They have a IT team they say. I have never seen the team making any tool. I think the IT team is just on paper. Few leaders started excellent initiatives which have extreme potential but the managers with lesser minds filled these initiatives with garbage only to score numbers. The senior managers are so dumb with mathematics they are incapable even to fudge data. I wonder how the top management agrees to such dumb reports. Promotions are made on face value and not on actual value that have been added because there is no measurement of actual value. The definition of leadership is so lame that even a class monitor will seem a better leader.
