Spend more time to train team.

Pros

- Good benefits for a tech company - Relatively good pay - Good location and great looking office (Vancouver)

Cons

- Severe amounts of gossip and lack of procedures to cultivate a better work culture - Upper management values favoritism over merit - "Looking good" or optics are more important than doing your job well to the point that jeopardizing other teams is a favorable option - Run like a mum and pop shop even though it's a company of over 2000 employees - Lack proper processes - Lack of proper change management procedures...

Advice to Management

Understand the needs of your team and actually try to connect with them. If you see a problem with the culture, fix it instead of trying to conceal it. Good people leave good companies because of their managers.

Holy hell. So much turnover , in order management - you get written up for every mistake and if you don’t do overtime. Manager and team lead have no idea how to do the job . They get other people to train and write up processes.

No cons to report, left on good terms due to moving countries, would work for again.
