Cost-cutting, under-resourcing and nepotism undermine noble commitments

Project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Generally good people, pay-benefits and project portfolio. Company is making good money and growing. Headquarters location also has some great plusses in terms of surrounds.

Cons

Noble commitments to integrity-fairness, values, performance and leadership are undermined by double management standards, where certain people with the right connections progress but political decisions are made about others. A cautious follower rather than a sector leader. Commitment to career development is shallow - people get moved around roles at whim and by perverse and opaque special interest. Finance dept holds the whip hand. HR/People team is being cut - HR management is protected (operates for management, not the whole) and is very unresponsive/unavailable/ at times incompetent. Excessive focus on cost/headcount cutting and lean running (despite a stellar balance sheet and large senior management pay and bonuses) means competitive pressures, excessive work hours, and lurching from issue to issue, project to project. Not helped by some deficient legacy systems. Annual performance assessment decisions/bonuses are conducted opaquely for most lower levels.

Business outlook

Pros

Good paymaster, decent food and roster

Cons

Top heavy bureaucratic organization with too much toxic political culture stifling innovation & progress. Departments are underesourced putting lot of pressure on staffs doing actual work. Incompetent managers focused on fluff work. Company going further downhill due to rampant nepotism in hiring & promotions
