Palladium reviews

Duplicitous business objectives, unclear strategy, extremely dysfunctional self-serving management. Growth through a series of incongruous acquisitions with limited success at assimilation. Organizational 're-structuring' a number of times in past 2 years. No transparency, disingenuous, senior management comprised of clique of friends. Culture is go along to get along. Focus is on making money for cadre of 'shareholders' (read leadership team and a selected few favored employees) and not on making positive social impacts. Marginalizing true thought leaders; very limited internal thought leadership or innovation. HR is mouthpiece of leadership, no functional integrity, not advocate for employees, and challenged to retain talent. Declared "Year of the People" as company sheds tenured employees under the guise of redundancy. Ironic?

This organization needs a complete revamp from top to bottom. I cannot recommend looking elsewhere enough until the company makes significant shifts in corporate leadership style, investment in systems, and people and culture issues. Work life balance is nonexistent, with constant last minute proposal efforts and emergency project issues, and there are no trainings, resources, or effective systems to do all the work senior management requires. There seems to be a lack of understanding from leadership of the amount of time and effort that goes into both long and short term tasks. There are many senior level managers who oversee and and advise, yet very few are knowledgeable enough about federal contracting or have the integrity to roll their sleeves up and help when junior and mid level people are swamped and miserable. The ultimate consequence of the current situation will be programs and business development efforts that suffer and decline due to poor leadership and incompetence.
