Great mission. - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Michigan Economic Development

- Employees have opportunity to make a positive impact on job creation in the state of Michigan - Mixed work environment - some headquarters-based, many field-based - Overall good pay and benefits

- Going overboard with selective DEI emphasis - Growing more top-heavy with more directors and executives than ever - Mix of state and corporate employees leads to inevitable disparities

Smart, dedicated coworkers who still care about the mission Some teams are great despite upper leadership Good benefits on paper Good pay

Executive leadership is out of touch with employees and politically compromised RTO policy is punitive and unmoored from operational reality Zero transparency around layoffs/furloughs: staff kept in the dark and breadcrumbed information Morale is plummeting, and good people are quietly leaving; "love it or leave it" mentality from leadership Staff input is performatively “welcomed” but structurally ignored Policies implemented without evidence, evaluation plans, or genuine feedback mechanisms
