Telstra reviews

The BIGGEST con of working at Telstra, are DEFINITELY the COMPLETELY unprofessional, rude, arrogant, passive aggressive behavior that are exhibited by many of their employees. Apparently a lot of the "old-timers" and even Senior Management, GM's in particular, act in a way that is COMPLETELY unacceptable. Even my children are better behaved! And it's unfortunate that this behavior is actually rewarded by this organisation, because it is seen to be "getting results" and many of these GM's win recognition in the form of awards, but the only reason that they got these so-called initiatives in, was because they bullied, harassed and condescended on the people below them to force their own agenda. And many times this is at the expense of other people or teams within the company. It is completely unbelievable. It is unacceptable to have such a poisonous working environment where people and teams that exist within the same organisation, and who should be working together, are aggressively pitted against each other and actively seeking ways to dismantle the good work that is being done in other teams. It is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS. GM's - IN WRITING - say things like "you've obviously missed the point" "we're not getting anywhere" "you're wasting my time" when you've CLEARLY understood but they aren't hearing what they want to hear. THOSE ARE NOT THE WORDS OF A PROFESSIONAL . They are the words of a petulant child who can find no other way to resolve conflicts in a professional and productive manner. So disappointed with an organisation that could be doing great things. There are SOME great people there, and funding there to really make a difference. It's unfortunate that they keep around such poisonous, petty individuals who I would be ashamed of if they were my children.

No career growth in the US. Senior Management always have issues. Things are always changing from user applications to senior management.
