Pluspunten

Some good people at the team level who genuinely care about their work.

Minpunten

I'm writing it about what I watched happen to someone else, because they handled it with more professionalism than this company deserved and I don't think it should go undocumented. A colleague of mine was parked on a low priority project indefinitely while the rest of the team got pulled into more visible work. When they raised it formally they got written promises from both their manager and director. Those promises were ignored. When they followed up months later their manager denied the conversation ever happened — until my colleague produced the transcript on the spot. New promises were made. Also ignored. 20 internal applications. Zero interviews. One token panel interview that felt like it was designed to be failed. A rejection built around language so vague it was unanswerable. Then termination. For being, and I'm quoting here, "an unreliable employee" in standing up for themselves. This person had done nothing but stand up for themselves, professionally, patiently, and with documentation at every step. I've worked a lot of places. I have never watched someone do everything by the book and get punished so precisely for it. If you're a strong performer who asks questions and holds people accountable, this is not a safe place. The culture here protects managers, not employees.

Minpunten

A Trip Down the Yellow Brick Road (to Nowhere) If I were to describe the leadership culture here in Broadway terms, it’s a production of Wicked where the villains are running the show. The Decision-Makers: If They Only Had a Brain The folks steering the ship are driven by an overwhelming insecurity. They seem to fear any competent person with a shred of ambition. Many of those elevated into leadership roles lack real-world experience, arriving fresh off a three-day "training" session that serves as little more than a "CBN Kool-Aid" brainwashing station. This lack of integrity trickles down from the very top. Cultural highlights include: Zero Boundaries: Expecting availability at 10 PM on a Sunday, then dismissing your actual contributions during the week. The Memory Hole: Making written promises and then lying to your face days later, claiming those promises never existed. #Gaslighting The Oversight: No Courage Like the Cowardly Lion, those meant to provide oversight and accountability are completely toothless. On paper, they are supposed to supervise and course-correct, but they lack the backbone to take action. I’ve seen them draft and sign off on documents full of fabrications to protect the status quo. When push comes to shove, they are complicit in enabling a nightmare environment. Human Resources: No Heart It’s a cliché that "HR is not your friend," but this team takes it to a new level of coldness. Even when presented with documented harassment and discrimination—the kind of issues that invite expensive lawsuits—they do absolutely nothing to protect the individual. Instead, they flip the script and engage in illegal retaliation.
