Kontras
It is an extremely top heavy organization with leadership who typically hinder the work rather than help it. Much of this leadership is prone to making promises to clients that cannot be fulfilled and to holding unreasonable and outrageous expectations of internal staff and consultants. They seem to have no grasp on the reality of how the work is executed. And, therefore, the end result is usually poor service to the client and design/documentation frequently bordering on negligence. Well-intentioned process improvement initiatives are begun on a regular basis but never completed or fulfilled. Manipulation and blatant lies are commonplace among leadership, creating a culture of fear, self-protection, and negativity. And, these conditions seem to be worsening as a result of the recent reorganization. All of this, in addition to a somewhat unfriendly stance toward women and minorities, is likely a contributor to the extremely high turnover rate. In fact, the most committed and capable personnel are usually the first to leave upon growing weary of poor treatment and toxic leadership.
