Great company to work for.

Micro-management is highly prevalent. Local leadership within specific project divisions (CONVERSE) tends to enforce rigid, top-down policies that frequently conflict with broader global corporate guidelines, making it difficult to propose alternative solutions or voice opposing viewpoints. Furthermore, internal career mobility is heavily restricted, and leadership often blocks lateral movements or internal transfers, leading to stagnation and driving talent out of the organization. Think before accepting an offer for Converse ITC.

Align local leadership practices with global corporate standards. Emphasize open communication and support internal career mobility rather than blocking employee growth opportunities.
