Avis sur GXO Logistics

This is based on the 6-months I spent in the company during which I worked with all the various IT teams : - Old-school micro-management - No room for creativity - Tool-centric IT strategy: all your work will consist of configuring commercial tools and nothing more -Aggressive austerity policy: you're asked to justify every single license your request for your day-to-day work. Everything requires approval from all managers. It's near impossible to do your job easily. - bureaucracy: simple procedures could take a very long time to seek approvals - No room for growth: If you know how to use commercial tools you'll be considered "skilled". You will do the exact same thing for years. - Top-Down strategy in everything: anything related to teams/work/organization/projects will be decided by the board deck. IT leaders will break it down into tasks. The "engineers" will execute no questions asked. - Everyone is an engineer: The American culture of considering everyone an engineer is dominant. If you're sending emails only all day long: they will call you a senior email engineer. If you create windows accounts all day they will call you a "windows account" engineer regardless of your education/skills/experience. - No room for technical growth: personal development is not even considered. No budget for training/certification/workshops. You're here to execute the managers vision about certain projects and that's it. You cannot work on various projects. You cannot learn from other teams or other members of your team. You're here to do X,Y,Z until you leave the company nothing more. - No respect of work/life balance: you can get invites from teams working in a complete different timezone and you're expected to join or justify your absence. You can be called during weekends and after working hours. Depending on the region this can be considered illegal but no one talk about it.
