-Feedback system gone fubar. Online system allows people to send private email to managers about their people. Creates two-face, passive aggressive environment
-Different departments have unique cultures and hierarchy (meaning some positions a different grade then equivalent positions in other departments.)
-Avoid program management and BA roles which are like department admins
-Some VPs are very tuned in (COO, CEO, Product, Eng), others are not (Marketing)
-Very millennial oriented. Abundance of perks creates entitled environment. Lack of urgency to get things done. Passivity abounds.
-Most departments use a quarterly eval process. The continuous feedback system can be helpful but is time consuming and makes people feel like they are walking on egg shells.
