-analytics is to be avoided. There seems to be a bit of an obsession with taking people who work there for a ride: not only they pay below market rates but on top of that you are expected to work impossible hours
-no real leadership or strategy, no vision, just sales targets… forget about coming up with anything new and embrace opportunities offered by AI (the function is at least 2 years behind other firms in the same industry), the same stuff is flogged over and over
-micro-management... the senior management meddles in our work, provide irrelevant input, and insist on inadequate approaches at times or moving the goal post
-there's next to zero leadership; for instance if you can’t get a log in or access to the data or cloud service that you need it’s your problem.
-no technical leader, just powerpoint experts and project managers
-obsession with stinginess and taking everyone for a ride ;team is over dependant with junior hires with very limited technical skills and people who are learning as they go along. So long as stakeholders are being billed then why not I suppose :-)
- despite the obsession with planning/micro management, projects are started with no clear brief or realistic plan (there are wishful thinking plans of course, looks good in front of stakeholders but the reality is quite different)
- People get assigned randomly to projects (on a "let's see who's free next week.. ah yes 0.5 of person x and 0.6 of y and a bit of z's time") without even considering whether they have the right knowledge or access to data/systems!
- The senior leadership team seem more interested in their personal image on social media (being CEO of the year) than in addressing the glaring issues within the department. Maybe having exit interviews or 360 assessments would be more useful Talking of exit, a lot of people leave without a job to go to and this says a lot...
