AET Reviews

1. Blame Games. 2. Mind Games 3. Hunger Games (CEO constantly hungry to chew someone's head off) 4. Honesty considered a threat. Yup. SUGARCOAT as much as possible. 5. Responsibility avoidance. Pass it along. Always make sure you come out smelling like roses. 6. Not promoting strong performers (can't endanger own position). 7. Taking credit for another's awesome work. 8. Favouritism. Nepotism. Backstabbing. 9. Obedience over loyalty. You should just carry out instructions. Think "How high?" when they say "Jump!" 10. Divide and Conquer. Forget their numerous initiatives. Exerting AUTHORITY over a divided workforce is much easier than one that is united, right?

Leadership is in dyer need of management training and development. There is a strong emphasis on performance at the local levels, but for some reason Executive Leadership Team (ELT) members seem to escape. The business has been asking for 360 feedback initiatives, but the ELT keeps shooting down the idea, because they are underperforming, while collecting huge pay checks. After they've gotten some good pay offs, they get a package and they leave. They fly all over the world while not really doing anything other than collecting airline miles. There are leaders who scream at their employees, use demoralizing language, which all have helped to create an environment where workplace bullying and harassment are common. Instead of reporting it, most employees just start finding another job! AET has a tendency of paying employees at less than market rate, so you should automatically assume that any salary they are giving you is 20% less than the target salary. In the US, they are typically inflexible with the salary, so if they throw out a number, consider it a final offering. Don't look for any counter offer greater than $5K to be accepted. Contract (temporaries) are treated like warm bodies, which ironically is led by the head of HR in Houston (who is a real mean lady). Bonuses have been somewhere between 10-46%.
