Sago Mini reviews

- diversity - during BLM movement management seemed eager for change, but actions prove just lip service. Promised a consultant to drive change with internal hiring practices, etc. never happened. Management person responsible from ops doesn't even bother to show up to meetings. The only changes a $50 budget to buy yourself a book on diversity & inclusion/ internal employees initiatives because they want to make a difference. Im waiting for cancellation of diversity committee they formed cause it's not really doing anything and members unable to make change without management support. - no HR dept to file complaints to or ensure run equitably - just told to go to your people mgr who can ignore you if that's their decision. Sr management is either too busy or tells you its you misunderstanding peoples actions and intent. Lots of staff in long term contract roles and lots initially hired as contract so can easily be let go if deemed not working out (technically not a legal hr practice is it and noone is fooled) - a number of mgmt team is legacy, promoted or in jobs before co. got large enough to warrant an effective job search to fill with experienced persons. No skillset and relevant experience to do their jobs and delegate to others to do their work is starting to become more evident as co grows.

Very confusing leadership/management/reporting structure - unsure who to go to for certain issues and is very departmentally siloed. Obvious lack of ethnic and age diversity in leadership - some are arguably unqualified to hold their position. A lot of contractors who probably should be offered full-time positions by now (unsure if it's legal to be a contractor for 3+ years). No clear career pathing especially if you are not a dev or designer. Clique-y and difficult to fit in when meetings are full of inside jokes with those who've worked together for some time. Still running with a start-up mentally and leadership style which hinders building solid foundations and processes to accelerate growth. Cohesion in personality types is lacking - the balance of introverts and extroverts is not there and for some, an arrogance with longtime, manager-level employees. Unclear directive of strategy.
