Beautiful building does not create beautiful work environment

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Beautiful new building with amenities.

Cons

Many managers were "appointed" not by skills. It appeared that it was random appointment or "who you knew". And unfortunately, these managers were awful to work for. They did not understand how to manage people. Very disappointing and the biggest reason I left. I know others that left for the same reason. Our team was very overworked and underappreciated.
