Company Culture Changed (From 2018 To 2023)
Pros
- Interesting Work - Talented and Smart Coworkers - Pay & Benefit Package - Exceptional Experience for Resume
Cons
- Performance Review (Calibration) incentivizes Individuality and competition hence many are focused on what they can get credit for rather than what is right to do for business. - Alot of accountability on individuals rather than leadership. - Environment induces anxiety and many people struggling with mental and physical health challenges as a result of atmosphere. - Culture of Optics and Politics increased over the years and those with competencies that can't present themselves well (often immigrants coming from humble cultures or ESLs) are often under appreciated. - More frantic directors and VPs worried about themselves, say yes to infeasible and impractical request from above. -Senior Manager and Director in my team focused on self advocacy during layoff and prioritized showing up well in calibration rather than pushing for fairness in process.
