How employees describe working at Gap Inc.
I feel they are a trusted source for updated classics, and there are sales often enough I can usually get what I want with a sizable discount.
HR clears the path for upper level management to create hostile work environments without consequences. If you are an employee at the store level, you do not matter to anyone.
I personally have so much nostalgia for this brand. They continue to be resiliant and relevant. A true pillar in the Bay Area community.

What's the company culture like at Gap ?
Antwort der Top-Mitarbeiter
Friendly but stressed. A lot is expected from employees, and wages are not great.
Gap HQ Shared Services is hands down the worst culture in my 20+ career in IT. Not to blame the individual contributors - the inbalance of FTE to Contractor means that many people who are doing the work are doing as little as possible for as much as possible as sloppily as possible. But this is not the rank and file's problem. This problem as do all culture problems, starts at the top. The CTO is clueless as are his hires. They are running the longest re-org in the history of IT and are failing. The idea was to create a devops culture, unfortunately understanding nothing about the environment and nothing about the product stack and likely nothing about engineering, they failed. The next one was to create durable teams, they don't have the skills they need to do this either, so the next edict was to bleed talent and offshore to Gap Tech India.. well, you can guess how that is going: poorly. Which leaves the remaining few with the work of many and it is a thankless task.
