Cons
Senior leader within Earthmoving Division has created a culture of fear within the organization. The culture used to be one where upward feedback was encouraged and embraced. That has changed. Upward feedback results in loss of job opportunities or job changes that feel like retaliatory actions. A senior leader has had 13+ direct reports leave within his org, sending a message to the entire organization about the culture being cultivated. "Growth Mindset" is often touted by senior leadership as a characteristic the organization needs to embrace, but it is rarely exemplified in leadership behaviors as the only opinion that seems to matter is their own. If you want to shape an organization, avoiding the Earthmoving Division would be recommended as the only strategy decisions are being made from the top. The "leader" is setting the direction and has little interest in hearing anyone's opinion. The perceived center of development is in Peoria Illinois, so if you want the ability to grow outside of central Illinois, this is likely not the place for you, unfortunately. Until there is a leadership change, I could not recommend someone onboarding within the Earthmoving division. It is a toxic culture at the moment. Everyone is just trying to keep their head down and survive. It is not a fun culture to live in each day. I would not recommend it to a friend at the moment, primarily driven by one "leader".
