Pluspunten

The company used to have a friendly and supportive culture with great coworkers, but many of those strong employees are leaving. Morale has declined significantly.

Minpunten

Senior management has struggled to grow the business effectively. Instead of providing clear strategy and leadership, there is too much focus on pressuring employees to deliver results without proper support. Another concern is hiring quality. Too many people are brought in who contribute more talk than action, which creates inefficiency and frustration for teams trying to get real work done.

Pluspunten

There are talented and hardworking individuals across the company who do their best despite ongoing organizational challenges.

Minpunten

The organization operates with limited stability, with frequent restructures that repeatedly change team structures, reporting lines, and priorities. This creates a lack of continuity and makes it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Roles and responsibilities are often unclear and shift frequently. As a result, employees can struggle to understand expectations, measure success, or build meaningful ownership over their work. Feedback and communication from leadership are inconsistent, which further contributes to confusion. In some cases, employees are brought in to lead initiatives but are not given the autonomy to do so. Work ownership can become blurred, with overlapping responsibilities and decision-making concentrated at higher levels, reducing effectiveness and accountability. There are also noticeable misalignments between roles and responsibilities. Employees are sometimes tasked with work outside their core expertise, while critical functions may lack experienced leadership. This leads to inefficiencies and slows execution. Advancement and leadership decisions at times appear to be influenced by internal relationships rather than demonstrated expertise or performance, which can impact morale and trust in leadership. Diversity remains an area for improvement, particularly in representation of Black and Brown employees. Overall, the organization often feels reactive rather than strategic, with structural changes used as a substitute for addressing underlying issues.
