Repeated and drastic reduction of staff on a near quarterly basis. No career mobility, no pay or title changes, but the work does get moved to you. There's no solid vision for a future state. Just business jargon and marketing terms to feed the perception we're stable. Ideas of how to move forward post-merger seem to be rescinded as quickly as they're spun up. Good colleagues have left in search of companies that will properly compensate and feel more stable. Tooling in this company is an absolute nightmare with disparate systems. Moral is low from so many roles being offshored and rumors about more cuts to continue this trend. The last 2 points are probably not too dissimilar from many other companies that go through mergers or just how the job market is overall, but there's something to be said abouy the rate in which this company bleeds money in constant acquisitions, TSAs, and duct tape solutions to make it hobble along. All of which funnel back into their need to make cuts to staff and tooling. Which has led to burnout and knee-jerk decisions has made drastic impacts on the customer experience.
On and industry level. This isn't the feild for lukewarm experts to make calls on cybersecurity operations. The way our customers have responded to many of these changes is a pretty clear illustration of the questionable nature of our business leaders.
