Minpunten
- Extremely toxic/poor company culture Environment of the workplace is extremely "cliqueish", where groups of employees will talk negatively about others directly, and indirectly. General negative attitude present in the workplace, with prevailing attitudes of unjustified superiority displayed by certain staff members. Culture of mediocrity and entitlement, trickling down from the highest levels. - Workflow is highly flawed and inefficient The implementation workflow, support workflow, and development workflow is fragmented, with large gaps of information in all areas. Motto could best be described as "work harder, not smarter". - Poor Management Management team lacks the experience and competence required to make sound decisions. Consistently making large scale decisions and changes with no consultation of the employees or thorough understanding of the risks/benefits, often with the changes only lasting a matter of weeks before the next incoming change. Additionally, a severe lack of productivity from the management team, as they do not understand how to properly delegate responsibility. Delegation != Have others do everything. - Outdated/Inconsistent Product The application is written in a dead language (Visual FoxPro), and is highly unstable. - Egotistical Persistence Once a decision has been made by management, this decision is rigorously followed despite evident flaws present. The environment should be adaptable, with a willingness to revert changes if they are not correctly implemented/thought through. There appears to be a "ego" factor present, where there is an unwillingness to admit that a decision was wrong. I do not see this changing in the immediate future. - Dishonest Culture Promises and commitments are consistently made, with an extremely low rate of coming to fruition (both internally to employees, and externally to clients). This breeds a lack of trust between members of the company's hierarchy - High Turnover Rate I'm not sure what the exact numbers are, but it has to be extremely high (higher than when I worked in retail in college).
