Indeed reviews

Managers aren’t managed and can too easily get away with creating toxic team cultures. The entire HR org needs restructuring and training. All of middle leadership needs leadership training. It’s too easy for IC’s who brown nose and only think of themselves to get ahead while those who think of the team at large and future team members are targeted and perceived as disrupters. Siloes are created and some managers use that as a tactic to divide team members and support some more than others or not at all. Career growth is associated with who your manager is and whether they really want to support you or not. Some middle managers have too much control over employee advancement and directors look the other way or aren’t present at all. At first Indeed valued culture and diversity but that has also been tainted by individuals in middle management. My former team is now all white women, mostly of a certain age with similar backgrounds and lifestyles. Only one man remains and one person of color who’s a contractor.

Despite an alleged culture of inclusion, diversity, etc., politics still play a role in how people are treated. I was a victim of bullying that was supported at levels beyond me. HR did nothing. The policy against retaliation was not only not enforced, it worked in the reverse. I was literally conspired against and forced out by a few jealous employees whose lies were constant and supported by each other, combined with my Senior Director, who was too weak to want to deal with the situation. However, the contributions I made to the organization are still in place and providing value. And, there are people there, that did not feel animosity by my presence, that wish I were still there. A sad loss for us all. I loved my team and our mission.
