Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Experience and their working culture
love them a lot they are great
Freedom to think, but within the rules and regulations
Clear, helpful, open, supportive and encouraging.
every one works humbly and cooperative
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Honesty. Objectivity. No intimidation or harassment. Abolish sexual harassment of both men and women. Racial bias rather than meritocracy is the norm.
Very shallow and self serving with questionable integrity
Identifying key skills needed for the business, how to evaluate and leverage skills of onboard talent, how to recruit managers with people management skills, how to develop talent, how to address conflict, how to work toward the organization's best interest rather than internal politics.
Family and then you can
Personnel management here is a game to the Executive team. They play a high stakes game of checkers, moving people around at will with little regard for the career's of their staff
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Good health care, insurance, suite of benefits
i do not know it is just great
Benefits, salary, and health insurance
It's very generous for corporate support functions, but has the effect of being "golden handcuffs".
Medical Insurance and work-life balance
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I believe consultants should be given opportunities to enter the staff workforce by means of competition. I believe the whole structure needs to be remade and also for DC staff salaries are very low given the inflation per year.
Salary is below comparators because of attractiveness of work
higher salary increases are given to the leads who do the manger job and not to the people who do the actual work
I work with multiples projects and get paid less than what those in the projects are making and yet their salary is more than mine.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Management LLC software marketing business LinkedIn marketing
Some of my team members are supportive
They are very dedicated and driven people
good people cool people nice people
Diversity of experience and opinion
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Doing what is good for the organization not only self promotion and self interest
Most co-workers aren't trained in HR or don't stay current on how to implement best practice, or don't care. Most will not question bad behavior in the workplace and will go to lengths to cover up mistakes, often by deflecting blame.
Our team is a group of highly accomplished professionals; we get along pretty well.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Diversity in all its forms
Have been working from home since joining the world bank
There is a lot of laughter and appreciation for once profession and how they communicate.
we have a caring, humble, understanding and supporting culture
The network and contacts. Very bright people.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Change of management and I wish team members will work with love and passion for the job
The whole staff structure needs to allow upward mobility from consultant up into staff and not be used as indentured servants whereby staff regard consultants like cheap labor and dont respect them.
Improve the hiring and promotion processes to be more objective. HR function should be outsourced to ensure neutrality and fairness
Radical shift/replacement of long-time staff in leadership roles. People don't leave the Bank because of the amazing benefits and pay but then quickly lose their competitive edge and become complacent to preserve the dysfunctional status quo.
Much better HR policies and management of talent.
What did you like most about the interview process?
We are accessed based on our qualifications and experience
fun interview cool interview great interview
It was very interactive and I did not feel tensed
It is less intimidating and allows for conversation and a bit humor to lighten the mood.
The pace of the interview was comfortable
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
More and clearer and honest objectives
include external oversight. Most of the appointments and promotions are baked
Keep applicants better informed of where they are in the process; notify them when they're unsuccessful, limit panel size, update interview questions and use more behavior-based approach.
What makes you most happy at work?
The outcome of the projects I support
Helping the people that I am working with and working for
happy people fun people cool people
Interaction with and appreaciation from varied clients
every day learning and interacting with coworkers
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
staffs are not motivated, no career path, mostly everyone is managing up which impact the quality of work which mainly left for contractors with no oversight .
Clients complain routinely that we are arrogant, don't listen to their needs, and are extremely bureaucratic.
My immediate supervisor does not work well with some of our bosses.
