Cons

The need for Harmony and to be “nice” is heavily promoted by HR precluding Innovation and information sharing which in turn leads to poor decision making. Any kind of confrontation is discouraged. Cult to personality encouraged. While the CEO sends messaging to employees about the importance of authenticity in the workplace. None of the Senior Leaders will promote it nor tolerate it. It’s a tyranny of niceness and conformity. Nobody dares to speak up. Bringing up issues will get you blacklisted and eventually fired. Friends of leadership get away with murder. There is blatant favoritism and HR is useless. I would prefer to feel respected and able to provide my views and ideas even if they are not shared by everyone. Shared Information Bias is prevalent.

Poor performers do very well, if the HR department thinks they could be trouble makers they will live fat and happy, get raises, and their bosses pick up the slack, or worse, if boss speaks up or documents the poor performance, he/she will be punished and reminded to be nice. Usually the poor performer has ties to Management or is in a “protected class” (older Americans, minorities, new moms, etc) in which case HR will work hard to prove the boss wrong and retaliate against him/her to avoid confrontation.

The same people get recognition year over year and anyone not in the circle of the SMT favorites no matter what they contribute will be ignored and go unrecognized.

Cons

lots of wheel spinning, loads of meetings

Cons

Limited opportunities for advancement, antiquated processes

Cons

Limited work, no room for advancement.

Cons

Little room for career growth or development, no career paths. Expect to be stuck in the same area for a long time. Avoid departments where the manager has been there for 10, 20, etc. years- they are often led by people who have no real management experience or training and don't know how to coach or properly treat people. A lot of hiring and promoting is based on friendships or people being related to other people and not on your skills or experience. Workloads are often uneven in departments- some people surf the web all day and nothing happens while others are doing 60 hr weeks to keep their head above water. HR is useless if you have an issue.

Cons

Not aware of any cons as of right now, I just started not too long ago however, the interviewing process was pleasant

Cons

over worked, under funded, no room for advancement in a company that refuses to change despite the constant hollow "challenge ourselves" mantra, faith in the wrong people, non-existent HR help, poor inexperienced stale leadership.

Cons

limited room for growth here

Cons

Constantly under threat layoffs.

No accountability of team. Some people don't show up to work, but still get paid.

No acknowledgement of contributions, or going above and beyond, other than a passing notation on your review.

Poor performance is overlooked if the employee is going to cause trouble. Optics are everything, and they don't want "negative press". On the flip side, someone else has to pick up their slack and go an extra mile to get everything completed on time. Their extra work is ignored, while the slacker continues to get raises and bonuses.

Afraid to try anything new. Senior managers have been there 20+ years and are set in their ways. Anything new, different or a change to "the way we've always done it" is discouraged.
