No work life balance - Associate Civil Engineer Los Altos Employee Review

Great group of employees, the city manager and directors are accessible and generally supportive of their staff, good work environment and city hall is located in an orchard and walking distance to downtown.

The City's political environment is challenging and the community is very entitled, with many "citizen experts" who routinely second guess staff, the city council is dysfunctional, with no consistency or accountability when it comes to a tough decision.

nada nada nada nada nada

Extremely demanding workload with little to no recognition. Excessive micromanagement to the point where basic personal needs are discouraged. Management displays erratic and unpredictable behavior. Work environment resembles a toxic, insular culture with concerning dynamics. Very high employee turnover. Team members exhibit jealousy and may fabricate issues to undermine others. Overall team structure is disorganized and lacks effective functionality.
