Bad from the get go. All the codebases are a mess. Tools are antiquated. Bureaucracy everywhere, no good deadlines, no reasonable expectations. Felt like I was being scapegoated since month 3 (spoiler alert: I was right). The only redeeming factor was coworkers (most of whom left).
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Everything from properly scoping tasks to recognizing employee ability and assigning resources effectively. The whole middle management layer is filled with poor managers.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Pay more. Manage better. Provide interesting work. At least do one of these so it's not torturous to get out of bed each day.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
My immediate team is fine, but people not on my immediate team are often detached and have unrealistic goals and expectations. I don't really know how to improve any of this aside from simply having better management.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Make it clear who is the actual manager and who isn't. I thought, when I accepted my offer, that I would be working under one person who interviewed me. It turned out I was working under someone totally different.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Remove the whole middle management layer and replace them. Scope tasks properly. Set realistic goals. Every project I've worked on has been a disaster scene that I get sent into to clean up and many of them are impossible situations that feel like I'm being scapegoated.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The pay is barely scraping average, you could get what I'm paid anywhere in Ottawa with ease. If the work environment wasn't so hostile the pay would be tolerable, but this job is clearly not worth what is being provided. Insurance is also mediocre and other benefits useless or obtuse to opt into.
