Cons

-very low salaries compared to the market. -Moving goals and KPIs (no clear goals). -managers' support is virtually nonexistent and they just love to chat. gossip culture is very encouraged and is protected under "confidentiality" -never received a job description and the tasks keep changing. - very high turnover constant fight or flight day-to-day work - sudden projects dumped on employees as someone in "the favorites team" does not feel like they want to do it. -meetings meetings meetings, you start with a monthly check-in, then a weekly check-in, then a 2 weekly check-in, then a town hall, then an activity of some sort. -FORCED FUN is obligatory no matter what you have going on outside of working hours, and if you fail to show up, you do not fit the company CULTure. -unrealistic unmeasurable targets (for example: you need to be better at communicating with employees) if you ask for support, then you need to think outside of the box. -Managers are immature with zero to non-relatable experience and learning management on the job as employees re leaving them. - nepotism is very present when you see a friend of a of a high management someone promoted 3 times in less than 2 years while the rest of the team is fighting for breadcrumbs and getting low ratings to justify the increase in pay for the lucky one - managers have the power to discriminate against employees under the culture fit umbrella where no real performance is measured. -hiring of relatives is huge and they are the ones with the big bucks -Pizza party after performance evaluations to compensate for the low increases, but I guess the fruit and snacks bar is a good compensation for someone who works to eat. - ridiculous team building activities (for example, let's identify your personality to know the best management style your manager should use with you), HIRE experienced managers to figure that out rather than wasting time. - Upper management is mainly a group of friends (went to the same school, or previous colleagues or bridesmaids) and they get promoted at least once a year, other team members just watch and clap their hands saying congrats on your third promotion. - Employees surveys (peakon) are a joke and even though they say they're anonymous, they are not, employees who express their honest opinion usually are terminated within a few months through PIPs. -they are now in cost-cutting mode, so they need to have a "curve" of performance with disregard for actual merit to justify the promotion of yes people.

Advice to Management

-Hire better managers with actual experience rather than soft skills certificate they get off LinkedIn learning that only requires their attendance. - Review the PIP process and ensure its not drafted according to the mood of the manager. - Have JOB DESCRIPTIONS with clear KPIs -Perform exit interviews independently (not the manager who is the reason for leaving is doing them) do better to measure performance and be clear about the job requirements rather than having moving target goals that change when it is convenient
