Pros
Nice office, colleagues with good work ethics (mostly)
Cons
Tech Group is in deep troubles. Every single division, including directors office is struggling to find their way out of the mess. It is ironic to read CEO’s message on promotion ahead of readiness doing more harm. I think we are seeing the result of this harm in TG. Once an upon a time we had regular updates and department wide Townhalls. We keep up with the trend and had hackathons. We had department retreats that didn’t involve listening to people repeat the words in our reorg emails for 4 hours, with no direction or strategy for TG mentioned. We silently can guess who plan that because the style is the same as the T3 Townhall. The afternoon part was completely different styles. Even our new BM has flee to work for the previous lead after the retreat. Good for her but now we are left to pick up the pieces with no one guide us on budget or help improve the process. It was the first time we understand what BMs do because she take time to listen and understand “requirements” and teach or correct but things change again. Now only certain leadership roles can interact with BM even though the portfolio is smaller after the split. We have imported many SVPs and did not promote any existing people. TG is becoming mahjong expert - wash mahjong table to rearrange tiles and discard tiles.
