Goliath Reviews

Leadership is not transparent: major changes, layoffs, and freezes happen with little communication until after the fact. Company blames the economy for cuts, yet continues to spend in ways that feel inconsistent. Poor pay compared to workload and expectations. Long hours and stressful deadlines with little recognition or support. Very weak office culture with no real sense of community, everyone is on edge, and there’s no social environment. Minimal benefits that don’t make up for the stress. Constant turnover year-round

Executive leadership has such a tight chokehold on department budgets and payroll that is stifles innovation, lowers morale, and creates high levels of stress due to being under staffed and under paid. In my department, crying and discussions of poor mental health was not unusual during group meetings. This quote from the head of HR sums it up well, “Everyone here has a problem with their salary.”
