- Internal policies were always changing and implemented without proper communications.
- Senior leaders did not have a lot of contracting experience and therefore were not great mentors for growth
- Too much emphasis on advanced scientific degrees when they are not needed for the job (i.e. a manager with a bachelors needed to have 5+ years more experience than a PhD, which logically makes no sense)
- Poor professional development - they emphasize that there is professional development but the budgets are very limiting to actual training, certs, or education.
- Senior leadership is too business-focused and not people-focused when it comes to staff who have problems/concerns. The client is "always right" even when they aren't, and the company doesn't defend the staff when needed.
