High Potential Rewards In a System Designed To Grind You Down
High Potential Rewards In a System Designed To Grind You Down
Strong customer focus.
People with skills, ambition, initiative, and the ability to operate with much ambiguity can prosper.
Workload and review system designed to grind you down and create churn in the workforce. I was there for 3 years, and by the time I left, I was in the top 20% of longevity according to "The Old Fart" tool.
The review system requires churn of the bottom 5-7% through managed, intentional attrition.
Buckle up and be prepared to deliver performance messages you don't necessarily agree with.

The hiring manager who interviewed me was distracted and didn't listen to what I was saying. The complexity was expected, but I didn't pass. I'm not sure why, as they do not share detailed feedback.

It was good, but they didn't respond to me for a long time after 14 days. I asked them why, but they didn't respond back.

First round: Hiring manager screening. This covers leadership principles important for the job. Final round: Five interviews with a writing assessment. Each round covers around three leadership principles. All interviews are behavioral.
