Pros
Initially my time as a salaried employee was good. I had great leadership, all the way up to our Group Director. Layoffs happened, with a lot of great leadership often being removed, and new leadership was bought in, who had one meeting with their direct line of supervision associates in a year. Previous leaders would take time to meet with their associates whenever visiting different offices. It felt cohesive, especially during COVID.
Cons
Once it switched from “you all bring value” to needing to prove our value, it went downhill. Senior leadership often disregarded our feedback. One instance, US and India based associates took a certification course together. Feedback was shared, mainly from the US based associates. We heard nothing back until we saw a video of a senior leader, in India speaking with some of the associates who took the course, spoke of the course in such high regards. The 1st facilitator had to be replaced and the 2nd never went over what was barely taught by the 1st. Also, never having a bad monthly 1:1, but receiving a Needs Improvement for the annual review after I was placed on a job search leave when my position elimination conversation was delivered. After escalating the issue twice, it got to senior leadership and was never resolved.
