Very poor people managing skills

Pros

Company has Flex-Fridays and overall fair team structure. Lets you present ideas and collaborate with other teams if you have good communication skills.

Cons

Poor people management practices are significantly impacting the Digital Product Management team in the Omnichannel department. Favoritism and a highly micromanaging style stifle employee growth, while managers prioritize their own advancement and take credit for team successes. The lack of regular check-ins and a constantly shifting roadmap contribute to a disengaged and potentially demotivated team. Furthermore, the inconsistency in performance evaluations, where even consistently high performers can receive a "Needs Improvement" rating, undermines trust and morale. This problematic leadership is directly causing high attrition in the Bottom Funnel team, and despite this, upper management has not intervened.
