Minpunten
- Management often boxes employees into stagnant roles that don't match the expectations set during hiring, with initial promises of growth and mentorship quickly fading. - Annual review and pay raise process is inconsistent and disappointing. Raises minimal (2-3%), and performance evaluations are often skipped entirely in favor of across the board flat increases. - Bonuses are rare or nonexistent, and discussions about fixing the review process never materialized into improvements. - Leadership is cliquish and unapproachable. Concerns raised in team forums go unanswered or ignored. - Micromanagement is common in some areas, while in others, leadership is disengaged and fails to address poor performance or staffing issues. - Internal mobility and retention initiatives for contract transitions lack transparency and meaningful support. Off-boarding in particular was confusing with little meaningful communication even as contracts ended. - Client experience is a hit or miss. In my case, leadership did not advocate for the team and often withheld or downplayed information creating a culture of uncertainty and mistrust.
