Pathway can be a pretty tough place to work, mainly because of the topdown leadership style that really kills trust and autonomy. The upper management including CFO is extremely controlling. Even small mistakes get blown out of proportion, often leading to unnecessary process changes that end up impacting multiple teams. It creates more of a fear driven culture than one built on accountability. Even though the company is always taking on extra projects they’re hesitant to properly invest in resources. We're constantly being asked to handle development and testing tasks that are way outside our actual job, just because it’s cheaper. Decision making is way too centralized too. Even senior leaders like SVPs and Controllers can’t make moves without asking the cfo. It doesn’t feel like leadership, it feels like micromanagement. Employee recognition is pretty underwhelming and often tone-deaf. Overall, the tone from the top is really guarded and blame-heavy. There’s little transparency and important decisions are rarely communicated clearly. Instead of promoting teamwork and growth, the leadership style creates a lot of anxiety and disengagement.
