Bad management that does not motivate employees

1. Poor management 2. Top level management lacks vision, frequent re-structuting. 3. Middle level management is even pathetic, they try to micro manage 4. immediate manager will never have time to talk to you about growth, sometimes even performance review is not done. 5. Some managers give the appraisal task to Sr. engineers in the team, this is very bad.

Process, process, process . . . a big beaurocracy. Jamming process down our throats regardless if the process proves inefficient. Managers are forced to rank employees, but these lists of ranked employees are then joined into different talent pools of similar jobs/responsibilities, and then some senior exec who knows nothing about you, re-ranks you to fit in some pre-conceived distribution.

salary is not competitive high levels don't have a long term view, move slowly

Pay, bonus, base pay, salary

bad management from this company compared with others

- Lack of job security - almost yearly layoffs in last 5 years
