Talented Team, Managerial Frustration
Talented Team, Managerial Frustration
- Highly talented and motivated folks
- Flexible working environment
- Lots of automation projects for tech folks to work on
-
Managers have zero control over pay or ranking their employees for performance. Their ratings always get changed to what higher-ups want.
-
Not a great environment for experienced folks. Younger ones can thrive here.
-
GS calls itself a tech firm when it is not one. Tech is in an old state but is trying hard to move away.
-
Too many committees to approve any dollar spend. It can take months to approve even the smallest project.
-
Managers change jobs often (in the name of mobility), creating lots of obstacles for project planning and execution.
Please keep the approval committees to a minimum.
Empower managers to manage budgets, employee pay, etc., and trust them. They will make mistakes, but that's how they learn.
Become more nimble to plan and execute projects.
