great company - Project Manager Lixar IT Employee Review

Good benefits and good pay

No cons to mentions here

share why you should be working there

1. Culture – Work-life OUT of balance - working 18 hours days. Employees expected to be on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The line between work and personal time is blurred – was getting emails at any part of the day/night and weekends and texts and phone calls at 7:30 in the morning without any emergency or apparent reason. No reasonable downtime to stop working and recharge batteries. 2. Bad disrespectful harassing management – except for the project managers where the requirements are over the top high, the other managerial/executive positions do not require any formal management education or skills. With no prior education and exposure to good practices, some managers create toxic environment undermining employees’ engagement, confidence, and commitment. Use of bad language and verbal abuse. 3. No opportunities to use skills and abilities – processes just forming and incomplete. You can judge a workplace by how long it takes to get simple things done. It was strangely impossible for me to get something done that I had easily accomplished before in other environments. Then I realized I was in a deeply inefficient workplace. And when I tried to contribute with my knowledge and experience to introduce processes using worldwide best practices and methodologies with minimal change I got no support.
