I was able to speak with the Director and get a sense of the team dynamic.
My direct team is very supportive and willing to answer any questions that I have in an open and thoughtful manner. No question is too small or large, if they do not know they will gladly direct me to someone who will assist.
Completing a project on time when everyone has contributed. When someone teaches you something new and you are able to contribute to the workload of the team. When provided everything necessary to complete a project and do not need to work beyond an 8 hour day.
They need to hire managers/directors who can provide clear expectations of work and help grow the employees professionally. With no yearly review or team quarterly goals, it is impossible to gauge progress. Also need to hire managers who have experience in the direct team they are leading.
There was no back fill when someone left a team, the work was either forgotten or someone else took it on and was not recognized for filling a need. There is also a lack of diversity, engineering is mostly male. No clear direct expectation of work so you can be promoted.
Consistently took on a lot of work to ensure projects are delivered on time, no bonus plan, or increase in pay. No yearly review to understand what professional improvements need to be made in order to obtain promotion. I paid out of pocket to provide my team with yearly holiday gift card.
