Been here a decade. Started off like the wild west & meritocracy. The work isnt bad, but is now a bureaucratic dystopia

Che cosa deve fare il gruppo dirigente per migliorare?

The company was bought via leveraged buyout, so the mindset is "repaying debt", not "growth". The revenue/performance is high despite cuts, but the company continues to remove benefits, doesn't fill empty positions, replaces full teams with offshore workers & pushes for uncompensated "promotions"

Che cosa si deve cambiare affinché la cultura aziendale migliore?

The new parent company is toxic. The mindset is clearly to gut the company, replace as many positions as possible with offshore, continue removing benefits, leave vital positions empty & generally make short-sighted decisions. They could at least reward existing employees for keeping the lights on.

Che cosa sta andando male e come può essere migliorato?

Properly compensate the employees who are left. The company mindset is that of "reduction" despite continued solid revenue & performance. If the mindset can't change, at least reward employees with a fraction of the savings who are taking on 2 or more closed positions and new uncompensated tasks.

Di cosa hanno bisogno i tuoi colleghi migliorare e come si potrebbe lavorare meglio insieme?

In early years at the company, progress was fast and skill could be showcased and rewarded. Over the last 3 years bureaucracy & red tape (in builds/deployments) have scared off new devs and slowed projects to a halt. This was implemented without clear reason or a measure to gauge effectiveness.
