Pros
The company has a great set of core values, we just had them mentioned in an all hands meeting.
Cons
Here’s how the company has lived up to the core values in the last year: Craft - The ceo paid someone to ghostwrite a book about AI but struggles to explain basic concepts surrounding LLM in all hands meetings, even with the slides someone has prepared for him Sustainable flow - employees are forced to commute into an office to sit on the same zoom meetings they would have sat on at home all day Ownership - C suite blames problems on individual project teams (sometimes publicly) instead of acknowledging that they have a chronic problem of overpromising to clients Realistic optimism - the c suite told us we were about to have the best year ever in 2023 while simultaneously planning and then executing layoffs- what an optimistic attitude! Open communication - when it’s clear we have a massive employee experience problem (check out the glassdoor review trend), an non-anonymous survey is sent out to ask folks how they feel we’re doing! As if anyone is going to answer that honestly and then mark themselves as a target for the next layoffs. Inclusion - We got to hear a senior leader at our parent organization make a crude sexist joke at us during all hands and then he didn’t even have the conscience to apologize directly! And of course there were zero consequences for him. I felt very included at that moment. Partnership - outsourcing is the future!
