A Sinking Ship - Anonymous employee Smartsheet Employee Review

Where to start.... The engineering org has had an entire leadership swap to toxic, overbearing, undereducated (about the pitfalls of the current system), uninformed Amazon wannabe cronys. I've worked here for years and the culture has entirely washed away over time. Management has been overheard saying they don't care about Glassdoor reviews, well shoot, here's another bad one for the pile then. Management refuses to be accountable for their language and actions. It feels as though they don't care about any of the people, old or new, at the company at this point. They simply care about money. I get it, but it's so sincerely sad to know what used to exist here. The details: -Hiring from within simply doesn't happen. -Compensation is low compared to the industry, and while previously this came with the understand of a good work/life balance, that is no longer the case. -Work life balance depends on if management has lit a fire under your team/pillars butt, if you're on call supporting archaic systems with slightly less archaic alarms, and what the current marching orders are. -Management is a joke and doesn't manage, they schmooze with the colleagues and other higher ups to look good and push work down onto their employees. -The company is severely lacking in DEI and it has only gotten worse as they've focused on improving it from where I sit. -I once regarded Mark Mader as a good CEO, but I fear he truly has changed. The fact is he knowingly and willingly allowed all of the above to happen speaks volumes. If you're considering working here, the ship is sinking, don't do it. If you're reading this as a current employee I encourage you to speak up and post your own review, good or bad.
