What does the PIP consist of? What objectives and how does one actually pass a PIP?

Dear young dreamer, DO NOT COME HERE! Reject your offer. Withdraw your offer acceptance. If this was 2005 100% I would say congrats and welcome to the family. However, its now 2025 and 100% you should stay away. You have been warned.

Heritage Pioneer here. Had my performance review this week (hPXD manager). I was rated “good” (was told its “ok”, whatever it means, I’m yet to find out). Some of my hPXD coworkers were rated NI. Just for doing their regular work at “Excellent”. This... — read more

Is there any chance of a pip being stopped by a higher authority once you receive a NSI ranking?

Had a new manager drop me from my ranking when I have objective evidence that I had an excellent year and should’ve been in the top placement. When I asked him about why I was dropped, I got no concrete feedback. Has anyone ever been able to fight a... — read more 

They’ve cleared a lot of trees. What are they doing

It’s July 26th. Has everyone who’s been assessed as NSI already told? If we’ve been told that our feedback will be communicated in August, are we ‘safe’ for this year?

Question - are people getting actionable development items during their performance assessment feedback? Or is it corporate lingo and random buzz words that are high level, vague and not useful?

Does anybody know how long we will keep the Dallas area office? I still see Pioneer and Danbury people over there.

I remember when working here actually felt exciting. People were engaged, and there were real incentives to go above and beyond. But over time, that energy just vanished. The perks disappeared, transparency eroded, and we became just another... — read more 

I left EM a few years ago when, right on the cusp of a promotion, I was inexplicably dropped multiple ranking categories with zero reasons given. I had a new manager that rank cycle who REALLY disliked me, probably because I frequently brought them... — read more 

What’s the unofficial version of events in Qatar these days?

Got my rating: “Good.” No issues raised. I’ve been covering extra work, stepping in when others left, helping newer folks, handling critical tasks outside my lane. Even chipped in on org-level charity initiatives — the kind that supposedly show... — read more 

I’ve been here long enough to remember when things weren’t great, but at least they weren’t this bad. Over the years, the fear and paranoia have gotten worse, the PIPs more random, and the only real “skill” that gets rewarded is staying close to the... — read more 

I know it's a red flag but it's also better than having PIPs all the time. Or at least that's what I think. But I can't seem to decide. It's a smaller company, but not small. Would you do it?

30% raise bianually?

Why do people hang on working for EM? My son got a job offer there but It sounds like an awful place to work based on all these posts.

So if I start a new job and don't tell them and continue to get paid, how would they find out? And if they do, what would happen?

Wonder how much money AppGate has cost the company? Several times I've been unable to send or receive emails or connect to the network for half a day.

I wonder who will be held accountable for such a fools errand.
