OCG PR Reviews

I say this with the intent of giving constructive feedback that will help jobseekers understand what they will be getting into by joining this organization. If I had been given an opportunity to provide these comments via an exit interview, I would have. Most of the problems are a direct tie to poor leadership. Management here is unprofessional and uninterested in building up their staff. Most of the directors and "chiefs of" were unqualified for their positions. You get the sense that leaders are selected more on their ability to serve as "yes" men and women to the president rather than any true ability. Certainly the president does not care for or try to understand people who are not a lot like her. This also falls under leadership, but I think it deserves to be spotlighted as its own con. There is a culture of not caring about the employees. I think the leadership is totally unaware of what skill sets their employees possess, what they are interested in working on, and/or in what direction they would like their careers to go. In my time there, I was assigned to work on several clients/projects that I was extremely unsuited for. If they had spoken to me about these assignments, even if it was just for the appearance of having done so, they would have known that. But they moved me (and others) around like chess pieces. (One of my colleagues probably worked on 10 clients in her year or two there.) That is unsurprising; OCG is great at setting people up to fail. Morale was terrible. People got fired all the time. We even had a couple of pools going as to when the next person would be fired. (Not to be ugly, but just because it was such a major part of life there. Many people never made it through their 90 day probation period.) Also, the general consensus was that leadership thought we were all stupid and bad at our jobs. No one feels good working in that environment. Finally, and this is almost trivial compared to the other fundamental cracks in the structure of this company, but the benefits aren't great. Deductible is crazy high and the PTO is a joke.
