Stay from Model N - Associate Director Model N Employee Review

- Rampant unethical practices across teams - A culture that rewards incompetence rather than capability - People managers who lack empathy, leadership, and basic managerial skills - Alarming managerial incompetence—from PMO to Documentation to PM to Engineering - Promotions driven by flattery instead of performance or merit - Absence of consistent HR and Finance policies - Zero investment in Learning & Development - Outdated technology stack with no roadmap for modernization - Endless, purposeless meetings that drain productivity - Agile and Scrum practices discarded - A pervasive lack of trust, employees don’t believe leadership, and leadership doesn’t believe employees - Weak product vision and poor product management leading to inferior outcomes - Engineering reduced to a patchwork, bandaid-driven approach - Arrogant architects who meddle without reason and take credit for others’ work
