Interesting Projects, Terrible Processes
Interesting Projects, Terrible Processes
Challenging and interesting projects. Some really great people to work with on projects.
I call it blue tape, because it is 3 times as long and 4 times as thick as red tape.
It's unacceptable for a company of this size to not have unified time management, single sign-on, and so many other examples of poor tooling and processes.
They must be losing a fortune in wasted employee time and effort, but they don't really seem to care about the people delivering projects. Shareholder is key.
Bonuses are embarrassing as a consequence, even for top performers.
Long-winded promotion processes discourage progression, and talent is leaving, fast.
Pay more attention to your complex SI and application design teams. Support and reward talent without 40-60 hour form-filling exercises.
