Verizon Senior Systems Performance Engineer reviews

Recent layoffs has been a concern.

The System Performance Department in Midwest’s largest market needs to be Unionized. Managers/ Director decide last minute fire-drills and expect employees to pick up call right away anytime they call, guess they do not know how to leave vm. Management is non-technical and have policy to harass, intimidate employees. Plus, they have a leadership program for Recent college graduates who after 3 rotations are made managers. Had hired a guy from this program who had been manager barely 1 year in a different team he was non-technical but liked to boss around, argue with employees who have been working for decades and did not learn a simple thing after a year how to look up kpi's for sites and would ask engineers to put power point for him. Was finally moved to outer markets of ILWI. Director isn't that better than managers and wants engineers to make changes to network that impact negatively to customers but wants employees responsible for any network degradation. And they like to "coach" employees who do not agree with them. Last but not least, too much favoritism and go out and promote their buddies saying it’s a business need and favorites can do or work how they want. Also, hiring friends of friends as Senior Engineer who have no 4G experience let alone 5G which needs a year of training to get up to speed.
