Good money but difficult culture
Good money but difficult culture
Had a very successful career. Made lots of money via bonuses and stock options.
After regular email reminders from HR that I was eligible for retirement, I decided to accept an enhanced retirement package because the money was too good to pass up, and I felt it was the right time.
The review process known as "focal" is based on the philosophy of ranking and rating (R&R) employees against grade level peers instead of against job requirements and responsibilities. This hindered collaboration and teamwork. It was more important to have a personal relationship with the managers and be politically connected rather than being productive and delivering. Promotions were limited within the organization, regardless of grade level. So if employees in different grade levels earned a promotion, only one would get it.
Drop the silly focal process and actually reward according to performance, job requirements, and responsibilities. Also, find a way to reward collaboration with "$" instead of empty words.
