Poor Communication and Lack of Employee Value - Automation Engineer bei R.E. Mason: Mitarbeiterbewertung

great family company, constantly growing

the culture shifted after the company switched owners

- Work with amazing people - ESOP - Year-end bonuses - Willingness to try new tools and frameworks - Udemy access to sharpen/explore new skills

- Promotions/Integrity: "skills-based" promotion announced to company, then reversed with shifting explanations (matrix filled out wrong, secret nonspecific time requirement). Company deleting HR's promotion announcement email from everyone's inbox rather than owning up to the mistake. Creates pay/title misalignments and undermines managers who advocate for their employees (and are most aware of their skills and performance) - Resistance to remote work despite a hybrid policy - Dev workflow is chaotic and adjustments and redirects happen often. Weak long-term planning and defined requirements and scope are rare - Operations teams like IT and HR are consistently undervalued: contributions not recognized at company level despite being critical to operations. - Lack of diversity in leadership: predominantly white male. Senior leadership made racist jokes and used ableist slurs in workplace conversations. Witnessed hiring resistance based on candidate accents, justified as "communication concerns with customers." Office amenities (golf simulator) reflect narrow culture fit.
