Senior leadership spends a tremendous amount of time thinking up new culture and values that are constantly changing, then they hold us to these values but not themselves.
Senior leadership does not listen to SMEs, decisions on critical resources are made against the advice of SMEs which leads to shortcoming, challenges and being told to make things just work.
Finance seems to be an issue, we plan things out and projects get approved and then months into the new year we are told the money is gone.
Right sizing teams never happens after people leave or get promoted, there is a push to outsource.
RTO for employees hired on as remote are not respected, and are told that their employment contracts don't matter and that they should just come because we have no choice even though those employees will be going into offices to manage resources that are not located at the office and the employees sit on team meetings with everyone else remote (A lot of people are not even in the same country much less the same state.) Leadership wants seats warm and do not care about their employees.
Promotions almost never happen, unless someone is failing upward.
You are just a number here, especially if you aren't part of sales or marketing.
HR does nothing, they treat you like a number and enforce the fact that your employment contract means nothing to them.
For such a large and profitable company, money is not spent where it needs to be, I am being vague here intentionally, but I have worked at much smaller companies that are much farther ahead from a technology standpoint.
PTO was replaced with FTO so that when people leave they do not have to pay out PTO, it is nice but I see that as a benefit lost.
Since I have been here we have gone through 3 CIOs.
Communication of critical changes or any changes, trickles down to working staff like gossip does in a high school, there is no real communication, especially for things that can be grey areas.
Certain things fester for years and the company is advised these things are big issues for a long time, and then randomly it becomes an emergency project 3 years later and gets rammed through.
Project management and planning here is a complete joke.
