Review from IT Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

overworked, underpaid and undervalued, surrounded by people who just play politics

Review from Admin Dept

Less politics and more freedom as we are adults at the end of the day

Review from IT Dept

GW likes to box people into very specific roles, where it's hard to further improve yourself outside of these very specific tasks. So, even if you are busy, you can be very bored, doing repetitive stuff over and over again.

Review from Engineering Dept

The Executive Office is not on the same wavelength as everyone else.

Review from Operations Dept

Stop telling us how excited you are to announce the latest administrative burden or a slightly worse benefit than was available in prior years. We are not children with short memories. We are professionals who can follow the reasoning behind solid strategy.

Review from Customer Success Dept

workload and lack of appreciation for what we do (RMO)

Review from Operations Dept

Underappreciated, underpaid, lacking direction, execs not being held accountable, lack of transparency.

Review from Product Dept

There is a need for clearer direction from the management team of the company in relation to the long and medium term strategy with the related plans. And greater decision making authority by region and across the VP/Director grades.

Review from Operations Dept

lack of employee engagement , not paid fairly.

Review from Product Dept

Get better leadership at the top

Review from HR Dept

I'm constantly feeling pressured to work unreasonable hours and to jobs that are outside my role's responsibilities. Being fully remote can also feel completely isolating

Review from Engineering Dept

Manager is not helpful in nature and doesn't help me grow

Review from Engineering Dept

My function is very political, and it feels we talk more about the people we work with than the work itself.

Pay more. Give developers more responsibility. If you have someone making design decisions (such as software architects) and the team *is not present* that is *NOT* agile. Fundamentally. Not a single design decision should be made without the opportunity for the dev team to oppose it.

Review from Engineering Dept

It is similar work everyday

Review from Customer Support Dept

I DISLIKE MY TOXIC MANAGER

Review from Product Dept

I think the place where you work should not matter. We should be able to work from any place/country provided it does no impact performance and deliverables

Review from Sales Dept

PDO's hybrid return-to-office adds many hours of travel time each week. The commute and the need to be physically present instead of mentally focused on my work significantly reduces my job satisfaction.

Review from Engineering Dept

I used to be. A lot depends on the position.

Review from Engineering Dept

Way too focused on VPMOM goals as the letter of the law and not the 'spirit' of the VPMOM goal. So we end up creating reports or doing meaningless process for process sake just to make it so we can say we achieved a VPMOM goal at times. So crazy to me!
