Expected to be available on company-provided BlackBerry 24/7 -- can never feel like you are NOT at work. Received my 24/7 BlackBerry on my first day before I was even shown my desk -- that should have been a clue as to the corporate values. Back-stabbing environment. Could not trust my own boss to have my back -- felt very isolated and unsupported despite working incredibly hard. No 401-k match when I was there -- that is almost unheard of in the industry. I joined the company with a very positive attitude, worked incredibly hard and felt excellent about my performance until the last month I was there...I left feeling deflated and beat up -- absolutely no morale-building when I was there, and in fact, it was an atmosphere of crushing one's spirits. Heads-down, no personality allowed. Just keep your mouth shut, your head down, and do your work.

Half of management has no idea on how to run a business like this . Their vision is clouded by their own self centered thinking. In their minds , if the firm is doing well , then it's because of them. When there is underperformance, they are quick to point the figure at everyone else. HR has little to no understanding of what the employees want to make them happy and needs to be much more serious. A little less laughing by all of them and a little more focus on business initiatives would help.
