Current CEO is a scumbag. We've had plenty of bad CEOs before this but Alan is the worst of them all. Countless broken promises. New edict: if you're within 40 miles of an office, he is now requiring commuting 5 days a week, no exceptions. Regardless of whether you've been virtual office or not for decades previously. Salaries are stagnant. They rarely do matching 401k contributions (they decide whether to or not for each period - "sorry, better luck next year"), and the pay rises have been below industry standard for years, with no sign of changes. The product portfolio (usually a strength) has never been weaker. They were late to cloud and the offers are immature beyond belief.

Constant changes in upper management (senior VP level and secondary cxo suite) prevents initiatives/strategies from playing out Debt load is brutal and despite being the clear driver behind layoffs/furloughs management cherry picks stats to deny it as an issue in internal messaging. Layoffs don't seem to have much thought behind them other than the balance sheet - positions are eliminated that almost immediately require backfill Account managers are rarely knowledgable about what they are selling which puts a huge strain on the shrinking SE teams - management is either unaware of this or do not see it as an issue. Business partner community is coddled and can complain there way into being allocated resources, discounts and exceptions from certification requirements
