Minpunten

Highly matrixed environment which results in frequent communication issues and competing priorities. Collaboration across departments can be challenging due to not fully identifying the key stakeholders and/or not sharing information as freely as it should be. This results in a lot of firefighting around emergent issues, and leads to a work-life balance that is quite poor in many areas of the business. Recently, there have been cuts to benefits and multiple rounds of layoffs. The fact that there didn't appear to be any layoffs at the VP or SVP levels continues to reinforce distrust of the executive leadership team. This suggests to employees that the lower levels of the organization must pay for the poor decisions made by upper-level management.
