Identity crisis 101 - User Experience Designer Tekzenit Employee Review

Tekzneit is going through a major identity crisis. They do not know who they are or what they want to be. One minute they talk about being a UX / digital powerhouse in Dallas, then they want to be full creative services organization. How can a company develop a culture if they are running in all directions? Short answer, it just becomes water down paint by numbers approach, which generates a less creative and frustrated environment. Incompetent management staff causes many of the problems that impact the company. The domestic office is running so poorly the international office has come in to clean up the mess. The company shuffle designers from project to project without any warning. An employee may spend one day on a project then are thrown on a new team the next day. Then management will question an employee on how can they add “value” to the company ( because management does know what that particular employee has accomplished). Management will also say, "I just don't see your passion for this job."Its hard to show anything when you moved around all the time. Not on a project or team? Try to contact your boss to find out your next steps. It is like trying to find the Holy Grail. You will never find them or better yet your put on wild goose chase. Calls, emails, IMs will just in result in “hold tight”, which means find your own work. The problems are not only in the management team but seen throughout the organization. HR will boggle your mind. They have been notorious to forget to sign employees up for insurance. Some employees have gone months without insurance and then ask what happen — HR is what happened. Where is my W2 / I need to remove someone from my insurance — get ready for a month long battle of emails or phone calls. Do not get me wrong the management staff is focused on one thing — winning awards. If you want to work with a company, that wins meaningless trophies or only has one client at a time Tek is for you.
