Concerning trend of mass resignation and terminations among good employees has led to alot of people worried about the stability of their job and the company as a whole. Over the past few years the company culture has change dramatically from a place where people really cared for eachother and worked closely together to one where everyone is looking out for themselves. Management is quick to blame the frontline employees when management is the one who has put them in no win situations. It is really sad as a long time employee to see what has become of a workplace that used to have such a great culture. There has definitely been some questionable choices of those selected for management positions that makes you wonder how in tune the leadership is with what actually goes on at the company on a daily basis. The product has also fallen behind in recent years and I'm not sure how well it stacks up to its competitors. Pay is also significantly below market compesenation.

- High level executives openly boast about mid level managers being "afraid" of them. -Managers intensely micromanage without getting context on a project. This makes jobs significantly harder as more time is spent fending off overbearing managers than focusing on client work. - Managers complain at you as you present to clients, demanding responses in sidebar conversations as you actively try to engage client questions. Not only is this incredibly distracting and toxic, it is not a substitute for personalized, professional feedback. - Feedback is rarely, or never offered. Managers prefer to rant in generalizations at a team. Employees have to go out of their way to get feedback and managers will appear visibly irritated when they request it. - Managers will fly off the handle and reprimand employees without doing due diligence first. Subsequent apologies are never given and accountability is never taken. Managers will edit their Teams messages to say something completely different instead of taking accountability for what they say. - Although there is a rhetorical commitment to valuing many voices, managers will go into meetings expecting certain answers and ask leading questions until they get what they want. Not only is this a waste of everyone's time, it is incredibly condescending. - Managers make it clear that differing opinions are highly discouraged, and will go out of their way to shut them down and punish employees for providing them. - The organization has absolutely no mechanism for holding bad managers accountable. Employee surveys aren't conducted but for the purpose of obtaining a superficial "great place to work" badge. - Management is inept at applying effective pressure to clients who are delinquent and can't follow through on deliverables.
