The company has been in a downward spiral since the merger was initiated. Extreme budget cuts have been implemented, to the point where even simple requests, like ordering a docking station for a laptop, are heavily questioned.
The professional services department has undergone multiple reconstructions, with a new manager introduced almost annually. The workload is intense, and the company expects employees to be overloaded with tasks, stating that "everyone else" is in the same situation. If concerns about health are raised, they may be dismissed, with employees potentially being labeled as unable to handle the pressure, despite enduring it for years.
Reaching out to HR is not a viable option. Feedback suggests the consensus from HR is often unhelpful, with comments like "There are no opportunities in this company" or "If you're feeling burnt out, just take some time off." However, taking time off typically results in returning to unresolved issues, as no resources are allocated to cover absences.
There is speculation that the overly positive reviews on platforms like Glassdoor may be written by employees asked to do so.
Additional points to note:
* Employee dissatisfaction is widespread, with complaints arising in nearly every department.
* In the past four years, there has been no focus on improving the work environment or efforts to position the company as an attractive employer. The emphasis remains on finances and short-term profits.
* Customer-related projects frequently go over budget, with technical consultants expected to manage these situations.
* There is no clear limit on the number of projects an individual can handle, leading to scenarios where employees juggle up to ten projects simultaneously.
* Layoffs have occurred annually.
