High turn over, especially from senior leaders who have been with the company for years
Fear of yearly RIF/redundancies waves
Demotions
Minimal pay increase, even with promotions people are severely underpaid the market value. They then leave and HR are forced to pay market rate to backfill, instead of just doing pay reviews and retaining staff.
Terrible silo culture, people hardly know other teams
Lack of investment into staff, no clear career progression plans as goal posts moved continually. Managers say they follow the Dell process for promotion, when you hit the criteria for that, say Secureworks have different ones
Only opportunity for promotion is in US/Atlanta
Can't make any decisions without Dell approval
Rumours every so often that Dell's selling Secureworks sends panic to the staff
Political
Leaders given jobs with zero experience in that role to save money
Managers brought in with zero knowledge/experience of the industry and given free reign to ruin teams with their ideas
