EDF reviews

1) A Core value is transparency, but good luck finding it. Management is anything but that, and at all levels. 2) Genuinely incompetent people have made it into positions of authority, from Manager level all the way up to Executive VP. Still amazed at some of the poor contributions and general indecisiveness of individuals that have made their way into positions of authority in this company. 3) The HR department is practically invisible to you following your Day One orientation. And not in a good way. 4) Opportunities for advancement seem severely limited. The old adage of, "it's not what you know, but rather who you know" really seems to apply to all areas of this organization. 5) Too geographically spread out for its own good, leading to a severe lack of accountability at all professional levels. (Yet accountability is another supposed "core value".) 6) Barely disguised sense of malaise among many employees across numerous departments. 7) Surprisingly hierarchic and regimented corporate culture for a company firmly planted in a 21st-century growth industry.

Bad relations inter-department, everyone feels like they are against each other. Lots of micro management and obvious bullying. Job uncertainty for managers filters down to an uneasiness of staff. Over emphasising unrealistic and petty targets leads to stress and other mental health problems among staff.
