The People team is good at wasting talent

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Base pay Decent office EAP

Cons

Toxic leadership. Poor work culture. Lack of trust in people. Too much hierarchy/ overly top down not only in organisation terms but very evident in the day to day. Hire the best only to waste them as the top leaders don’t have a vision and are simply trying to keep up with trends. Needless to say no room for growth

Questionable leadership practices and lots of clique

Pros

- Work load is manageable and engaging. However, the learning curve is steep - Free meals once a week - You get autonomy to experiment however you'd like, as long as you deliver

Cons

- Leader and management don't provide good directions - During one interview process, a senior team member reportedly took the candidate’s feedback personally. He then blocked the candidate on his social channels, appropriated some of the candidate’s ideas, and ultimately chose to hire another applicant, showing a lack of professionalism and ethics - Lots of people who aren't doing much but don't take responsibility or accountability of their work. But the leaders and management are at fault for allowing this to run - Lots of clique groups with big egos
