Flex reviews

Company: For the last few years it seems like it has gone from full attention to fading attention. Our competitors steal / win our customers. The VPs seemed so stress, one had to go see a therapist due to reorgs. Pressure is intense. Hard to see your boss going through hardtimes (at work!).Joke we share: 5 characteristics of Company Leadership Style - Think Stress, Analysis Stress, Execute Stress, Fake Not Being Stressed, Measure Stress Personal Experience: The reason I'm motivated to write: I am a new parent and the support has been lacking. I have been surprised by the gender attitudes towards new mothers and fathers (men are given a hard time). I work 50-60 hours plus 15 hours commuting. There is no flexibility and there is no culture to support flexiblity. There is a group of us that gather for lunch and I'm tired of the constant complaining and poor treatment (the friends are great and I worry they will be leaving one by one as the company is having hard times).

For all professional and advance degree job searchers I would be very cautious. The CEO just announced retirement, the stock has had two significant drops (~50%), the cross town competition is hiring our talent, we have had multiple layoffs that what we understand will continue into the new year, our business struggles around the basics (supply chain) and difficult (innovation). There are flaws in the new marketing leadership, gaps in human resources and the time and energy around systems and processes is brutal. A quick survey of the team highlighted that 1/5 of people's time is on unnecessary process. That is one day a week. Imagine.
