It’s like going to a bad manager convention - every. single. day. - Developer Workday Employee Review

It’s hard to know where to begin. I can sum it this way. If you get inspired to do something that you think will help the business because you see friction in a process or an inefficiency, just forget it. Honestly, it’s not worth the effort unless you’re favored by management. It is utterly demoralizing to have this experience at a company that is losing money every quarter. Everyone is in denial about the lack of profitability, but somehow all will be solved when WD breathes the “rarefied air” of a $10 billion valuation. Go for it, just don’t expect to keep your best place to work designation with how you’re going about it.
