Great workplace on a slight decline
Great workplace on a slight decline
Great pay, enjoyable coworkers, flexible work schedule, partial work-from-home ability.
Repeatedly cutting back perks (breakfasts, lunches, team outings, massage therapist).
Not agile software delivery (three hard deadline releases per year).
Very limited travel, even with valid reasons.
Attempting to corporatize/homogenize everything in the office (bland white walls, very stock image-type 'culture galleries', nothing can be customized to the city the office is in).
Work is becoming more high-stress with arbitrary limitations on how you can perform your job.
Many layers of research are required before being able to implement changes due to the overly complex/legacy nature of the software monolith.
Listen to your employees before handing down decrees. Set looser guidelines for each office's decor and let each location personalize the work environment. Don't try to force every office to conform exactly to what it looks like in HQ. The highest employee satisfaction ratings are for the non-HQ offices, which don't perfectly conform to Employee Success's vision of the ideal environment.
