Ineffective leadership---inconsistent culture---terrible office layout - Anonymous employee MetLife Employee Review

The workspace is cramped with very little opportunity to think. Your co-workers are inches away, which means each of you always in full view. Unless you are an officer, there is no privacy and no ability to think...even if you manage people. This makes your ability to manage, grow and develop those that report to you almost impossible. There are limited private rooms for conversation and very hard to get due to availability. Booking meeting rooms is impossible. The office layout, the desks, is indicative of employee value. Leadership is fairly inexperienced. This is evident in the slow speed at which decisions are made as well as inconsistent decision making. I am convinced they make decisions without engaging the right people which often makes these decisions illogical and irrelevant.
