This company has provided the worst of my professional experiences thus far. Far too much time is wasted in meetings that only serve to inform managers who chose not to be connected to the data streams they ostensibly "manage". A sale is always more valuable than stability here.
What are some of the best things about your team?
My immediate group is highly supportive and collaborative. Often collaboration and congenial relationships are necessary to execute the many unexpected and unorthodox tasks to execute
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The people band together within teams, but the organizational decisions pit teams against one another to compete for resources with little to no support or guidance from "above".
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
It would be nice to know that roles are defined in any way. Jobs are given very broad descriptions because the roles themselves are relatively unstructured and will shift in scope and focus without warning, and sometimes without justifiable or communicated reasons
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Planning upon structure and reality rather than planning pipe dreams and forcing the operations teams to figure it out. Too often we (Ops) are told "its our challenge" to determine new ways to support client needs that have been agreed to by the sales teams
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
There is no operational structure, and apparently very little desire to implement one. We approach nearly every project as ad hoc rather than form structures that will make operations (and therefore output) more predictable and less volatile. Project management does not align with resource mgmt
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
My personal compensation has been capped because of IRI's salary banding structure. Because they hired me at one level, they told me "you make too much to get a merit increase this year" 3 years out of 9. When I asked how to get out of my current payband, I was told I would have to switch teams
