Pros
In pockets, there are some really great coworker's in the trenches with you.
Cons
To me, the Executive Leadership Team comes across as unfocused, clumsy, and unable to communicate a basic, cogent strategy to employees. We just keep acquiring companies and nobody understands how it all fits together. At one point, there was a picture of a stool with three legs to demonstrate the strategy, then a graphic of the nervous system that was supposed to bring it all together. Neither were effective. It’s hard to find meaning in your job when you don’t know how you contribute to the overall strategy. We have values that are given occasional lip service by the Leadership, but rarely if ever lived up to. This place has a culture of reactionary finger-pointing, blame, and fear. Many employees are frightened of being fired for making the slightest mistake. Per the website, the ENTIRE Corporate Leadership team are males and I have seen NO conscious effort to buck that trend. The year 2018 saw real talent leaving from many critical departments; Accounting, NOC, Service Assurance, Service Delivery, Human Resources, and Engineering. As referenced in other reviews, the Accounting department has been, at least subjectively to these eyes, abhorrent and poorly managed. In Human Resources, the long term leader of the department left, only to be replaced by another leader who barely survived 2 months before resigning. There is an “open” office concept where we are expected to conduct our daily work in low-walled cubicles, while the Executive Leadership Team all have huge private offices with large stand-up desks, credenzas, treadmill, large projection screen, and their own private kitchen…amenities hardly eyed by the rest of the staff. It’s very demoralizing.
