They Won’t Be a Company in 2023 - Avis employé Manager Synergi Partners

Not stressful – I’m not being watched over my shoulder, which I appreciate. Friendly and supportive people. Managers check in regularly and give useful feedback. Health insurance, PTO, and 401k match. Flexibility with my schedule whenever I need it. Plus, we have team activities that keep everyone engaged.

Onboarding was a bit rushed.

Some people genuinely wanted to make things better, which made it sadder that the system wouldn't let them.

They had DEI posters everywhere and monthly newsletter about 'inclusive culture' but when it came to hiring and promotions? Nothing changed. The same patterns repeated constantly- diverse candidates made it through interviews but rarely got offers, senior leadership stayed exactly the same, and opportunities went to whoever already fit the mold. The mandatory diversity trainings were just theater, you'd sit through an hour of talking points and then back to business as usual. People of color and women I worked with all complained about being sidelined for projects and promotions, and the company's response was to schedule more meetings instead of actually changing how decisions got made. It got tiresome pretending this was progress when nothing structural ever shifted. They wanted the credit for caring about diversity without doing any of the hard work.
