Sadly over the course of the last 6+ months of my employment, that started to change significantly.
New Senior roles were created, to detrimental effect, owing to the accompanying attitudes of individuals, within the product world and unfair expectations placed on individuals.
Reporting lines became blurred and professions that should be equal partnerships started reporting into each other, making certain areas of the business inferior and at the behest of others.
Despite my continued success and feeling of appreciation over the previous years, I know felt pushed out, backed into a corner, under valued and underrated. It was as if newcomers to the business built an instant picture of me based on limited exposure and stuck to it.
Morale across the team was down, significantly, and so many conversations in and around work turned sour and talked about everything that was now wrong with the company.
It’s a real shame because so much has been done at a company level to try and improve the culture across the business— and that’s been great work! But, ultimately, all of that has been overwritten and made redundant by the fact other influencers within the product environment have made the culture so bad.
I did think the compensation package was good, and I guess it wasn’t bad. However, upon leaving I’ve realised there are much better compensation packages available!
Senior management would get a higher rating in my following scores, had it not been for recent changes.
