Slow. Difficult. Lonely. A constant uphill fight. Isolating. But I have been trained very well, so there's that. Worst of all is my experience with my manager and director. They give very little to no recognition for really big changes and instead, my manager competes with me.
What do you like best about your company?
Ability to take trainings and work from home
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
retention and young employee treatment
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
was okay but could be more geared towards acquiring talent
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Disruptive mindsets punished - should be rewarded. Young employees not engaged. Trained to be good for other companies, but not offered proper compensation or roles to stay.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
recognition from my director and manager instead instead of annoyance. I have been responsible for lots of innovation, but I am treated like a pariah for upsetting the bureaucratic process. My manager competes with me instead of growing me. Long line for promotions/compensation despite performance
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
1. Not being punished for wanting to move to a new role in Cisco. 2. Managers to challenge/grow rather than compete for spotlight with employees. 3. Compensation based on performance rather than based on length of time at company. 4. "Disruption" rewarded rather than punished
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
so many things, from recognition and compensation to overall work environment. Definitely my manager. I wish there were less repercussions for internal movement. Everyone "says" it's fine and you can and they'll support you. But it's a lie. I have had two movements sabotaged by management
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Inclusion. If you think outside of the box on my team, you're punished instead of rewarded. Large group-think problem in Cisco IT. Even if you're optimizing a process, people get annoyed because of slow/stagnant mentality. They want things to remain as they are and nothing to be disrupted.
