Not a merit-based culture
Not a merit-based culture
Decent benefits and PTO.
Some decent co-workers.
Poor management and inconsistent, non-actionable, vague feedback are not common.
There is very inconsistent leveling, where DEI is prioritized over merit.
DEI hires get to coast while non-DEI hires are picking up the slack.
Managers regularly try to game the 360 review process, and metrics are more important than actual business value delivered.
Empire-building managers.
Very bureaucratic processes that do not contribute to increasing quality or value delivered.
