      Sinking Ship & Terrible Leadership

      Product Manager
      Former Employee, more than 8 years
      Thornton, CO
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Super flexible hours, basically unlimited PTO, and few micro-managers

      Cons

      Antiquated culture - might as well be the 80s in there. Very old workforce with no younger people or cross-training or innovation. CEOs and upper management have no clue how to keep up with competitors or manage company finances/debt. They've gone into bankruptcy twice while upper execs walk away with golden parachutes. Multiple promotions with the promise of a raise, but no actual raise after 3 years of verbal promises. Bosses and leadership are very out of touch with reality. They expect employees to pull off insane projects with zero resources and absolutely no regard for the work that actually has to be done, so expecting perfect execution inside of a month for a 6-month project that requires 2-3x the planned budget. Was laid off the day after labor day with 1 month's pay as payment for 8 years of service. They don't care at all about employees or their development or happiness.

        I have an upcoming interview with LBBW and I'm keen to prepare effectively. If you have experience with LBBW's interview process, could you please share your insights, including the interview format, common questions, valued skills or knowledge areas, recommended preparation resources, and any general tips for success? Your guidance would be immensely valuable not only to me but also to others preparing for interviews with LBBW. Thank you for your assistance.

        Why is it that every employer once extensive experience and at least a decent college degree like a bachelors as requirements for a position? But then, when they see that you’re older, they still go through the trouble of interviewing you, even though you can clearly see that you are treated with ageism . I just don’t understand mentality in today’s day and age when it comes to interviewing processes as I feel like I am 18 again .

        Another day, another rejection email. I've been job searching since May and have made it fairly far in some interview processes only to get rejected at the final stages. Even after asking for constructive feedback, I get nothing back. How do you stay motivated to keep pressing on when you face rejection after rejection? Genuinely looking for advice / solidarity.
