good people and interesting technical problems, but senior management within the office feels very cliquey

Pros
  • Problem solving at scale makes challenges interesting.
  • People are very easy to approach when you need technical support.
  • They do try their best to foster a positive culture.
  • It is a nice office with snacks and a nice coffee machine.
  • People are encouraged to try out and bring forward new technological advances, which is nice in theory until you realise there's no chance that you will have the time to do this.
  • There are some very highly skilled engineers here.
  • It is easy to connect with people in different departments within the office, and people are just generally very nice.
Cons

Focus on diversity and inclusivity is great but content and trainings are largely tone-deaf and completely America-centric- the office badly suffers from a clique of long term employees who seem to strongly influence your career progression, and sadly not based on technical ability- managers largely ineffective at resolving interpersonal issues, very corporate and emotionally detached, clear they only care about how it impacts the business- for the type of work that is done here there is no good reason it should be such a high stress environment, and it looks like anyone who has been here for a long time is either a workaholic or completely detached

Advice to Management

Can you find a way to separate real company announcements and the social media feed of the HR person please?
