Great Wiki, Bad Management
Great Wiki, Bad Management
- Co-workers are generally good people.
- Access to a large internal wiki with a vast amount of information on various technologies.
- Compensation is extremely low, and it takes far longer (if ever) to get a raise or promotion than suggested during the interview.
- Management is shielded from floor-level employees and has no idea what kind of impact they have when changing processes.
- It's a sales-oriented organization where engineers struggle to meet customer demands that the sales team agrees to just to collect commission.
- There is no room for promotion within the department.
-
Pull your head out of the sand and listen to the intelligent people you hire that actually care about giving customers a better experience and making processes more efficient.
-
Cultivate a culture within the company that is more about a better work environment, new ideas, mobility within the organization, and encourages taking on learning opportunities and attaining certifications.
-
Cultivate a management culture of customer service/customer experience above all else.
