Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share your concerns with here. We’re sorry to see you feel you’re not in a healthy work environment, and that there’s no love lost between you and upper management. We’d like to encourage contacting HR or your manager, to share your story with them as well, and to see if there’s something they could do to improve your situation. In any case, thanks again for sharing, that’s truly appreciated, and all the best for now.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
