Inconvénients
This was the most toxic environment I’ve ever worked in. Management advertised the workplace as a Scaled Agile shop but had no idea what that meant and no interest in implementing it, so even though I was hired to work with Agile teams I wasn’t actually allowed to do my job. Additionally, I was expected to work well outside my job description daily, and when I mentioned that I was being asked to work outside of my job description and work experience to leadership I was told that I needed to figure it out, because if I didn’t make it work it “would be very bad for you.” When I brought up the experience with HR and leadership, I was basically told it was just this manager’s way of motivating people, and although I had many other people tell me they’d filed HR complaints about that manager, they are still being allowed to operate in that way. Management also apparently has no belief in the people they hire, because everyone is micromanaged to an extreme level. I was consistently asked for up to 4 status updates for a single team within any single day, and regularly asked to build plans for large projects with expected completion rates down to the hour. With this amount of constant required upward messaging, planning, and replanning, along with minimum 6 hours of meetings every day, my days were always longer than 8 hours, and regularly 12-15 hours. Messaging around all of this when it was brought up was basically, “it is what it is, take some PTO if you can to rest and then get back to it.” There is also an attitude that everything you are asked to do by any leader or manager (I had no less than 5 members of leadership directing my actions and work at any given time) that whatever they need is of emergency level importance. They need things within the hour, or large items by the end of the day. Everything is urgent, and no one will give priority rankings. So everything is treated like an emergency, which is an incredibly stressful environment to work in when it is that way every day. I saw more people leave this workplace than any other I’ve worked at within the time frame that I was there for. I knew of people that were so stressed from the work environment it was making them physically ill. I knew people who canceled planned PTO and trips because they felt they had to work instead. No company, no product, and no leader is worth sacrificing your health and well-being for. Do not work for this company.
