Wow.

Sounds almost too surreal to be true.

Is it really that demoralized in the management there? That's scary.



It's a 100,000-person company, so the rule is "variance is high."

I saw extremely gelled, competent, high-functioning teams working on key projects with wide impact. I also saw new teams led by inexperienced managers working on fringe / incidental initiatives or keeping the lights on on a system people knew was doomed. These experiences are not the same, though they happen at the same company.
