Toxic Development Department - Manager USO Employee Review

I believe the organization as a whole is a good place to work, but stay clear of the development department. Senior leadership is terrible. They love to give pre written speeches on team building and team bonding, but never actually try to get to know there staff. When you are smart and know your job instead of using your strength to better the department they look at you as a threat and try to push you by if you call them out on their poor decisions. No-one is promoted for doing good work.. you are promoted if you are best friends with the CDO and VP's. They do lay offs every year and half and call it " redirecting resources". The departments that get hit the hardest are Programs, Operations, sometimes development. The HR department is a pointless department. Staff members are scared to voice their concerns to HR because the HR department always backs the managers (VP's/ Directors) without doing proper investigation to get the full story. So your complaint gets back to your manager and in return they find ways to push you out. They do this by micro-managing you and literally reporting to HR all your mistakes even if its something simple as emailing a team member back a day late... (literally happened to many colleagues of mine) They will continue to do this process until you either quit or they have enough "mistakes" to fire you. The work they do is amazing work and if you really want to join this organization go to the Finance, Operations, or Program department, but STAY CLEAR OF DEVELOPMENT!! Its the most toxic work environment I have ever worked in and no-one is valued for the many hours they work each week, oo except for the best buddies of the VP's and CDO's.
