Cons
I am a current manager here and this is the only place where it seems to be safe to talk safely. Slackers who play suck up game to management get promoted and stay there for years.. Complete incompetence is accepted as long as you play the political game and cosy up to the right people... Don't you dare criticizing management, you will be mobbed out. Some managers are so unfit for their positions its actually shocking they're kept in their positions for so long, in a management development school nonetheless. No management skills whatsoever, no coaching, performance reviews are a joke, HR are actually a joke.. Upper management are gutless, most faculty notably some French ones are arrogant and like to prey on support staff to feel empowered and no one has the courage to state the obvious and control these behaviors. Even some assistants (PCFA) now have a god complex and forgot humility and teamwork.. Cleaning crew are probably the last beacon of humility and hard work in this place. IMD is no longer what it used to be, talent isn't retained nor does it even want to be anymore, recruitment quality at all levels is horrible, culture inexistant.. Sexism, mobbing, bullying, favoritism are a norm. And the current president, despite being an angry diva is at least better than the previous who was as useful as a lamppost during daytime. Customers aren't buying the hypocrisy anymore, it's palpable in the air.
