- Don't trust everyone. Someone you think you can confide in may end up stabbing you in your own back.
- Promotions are non-existent. You'll be told to jump through countless hoops, drink the kool-aid, even get positive performance reviews (exceeds, not just a good meets). But promotions are still a myth. There were hiring freezes, promotion freezes, re-orgs, etc. which time after time was never the right time to promote. You end up hanging on to a twinkle of a promise that this is the place you can grow your career, as you were told, almost promised, in your interview, but NO! Move on, and don't get caught up waiting, or be unlucky to be caught on the wrong end of a re-org.
- Managers are great, but senior managers and executives are pretty much clueless. It starts at the very top and runs down. There's no dealing with these types of people. So again, move on when you can before it's too late.
- The online products are a joke. Hardly no customers and yet they talk about how they are investing in these products and the people. huh? Firstly there's no investment anywhere! Only cuts! Training course after training course and seminar requests all get denied! Not just a single person, but everyone. Every single request! That's not investing in your people! Not hiring people that left or hiring positions that are desperately needed is also not what one would call investing in the product. So it would be interesting to know what and where this mythical investment is.
- Lots of talk about myths. Yes, that's all it is. Smoke and mirrors, again starting at the top with the CEO who thinks he's the captain of this great fantastic ship called the Titanic. Little does he know he's running it into an iceberg. He may have hit the iceberg already but doesn't know it yet. But it will happen. Will the captain save himself and jump ship leaving the boat to sink? Probably yes, but not until 2020 when he collects his big fat bonus tied to stock price.
- Very cliquey. Especially at the senior management level.
Cannot believe I wasted so much of my career at this place! Glad to be gone!
