Teams add one more interview every quarter, yet quality of hires does not improve. Candidates drop out from fatigue. The same pattern appears across squads: process keeps expanding while accountability gets diluted, so the people doing execution absorb the chaos. I compared this with similar services and expected at least baseline consistency, but the same failure mode keeps recurring here. At this point the issue feels structural, because individual fixes keep expiring while the root workflow remains unchanged. A realistic fix would be one clear owner, one visible status timeline, and fewer forced restarts of the same information.

People who present often are rated higher than people who quietly solve hard problems. The signal is activity, not impact. This has moved from a one-off annoyance to a predictable operating pattern, and everyone knows it but nobody owns the correction. I tested workarounds that should have reduced impact in the short term, but they only moved the friction to a different part of the flow. The cost is not just inconvenience; it affects planning quality, emotional bandwidth, and confidence in future interactions. This would improve quickly with a simpler path: preserve context, expose accountability, and publish concrete service expectations.

Openings ask for strategy, execution, analytics, design, and support ownership while offering compensation that matches only one of those responsibilities.

Applicants complete multiple interviews and references, then receive silence for weeks while hiring teams post the same role again.

Hiring panels gather structured examples during interviews, then repeat identical questions with references instead of using the prior data well. The same pattern appears across squads: process keeps expanding while accountability gets diluted, so the people doing execution absorb the chaos. I already tried the official support route, documented the issue clearly, and followed every requested step, but the outcome did not materially improve. The practical impact is lost time, repeated context switching, and lower trust that the system will behave predictably when it matters. If teams measured resolution quality and user effort together, this pattern would become visible and easier to correct.

Projects look perfect in decks, then stall in delivery because ownership is split across too many people. In my team this does not happen once in a while, it happens in almost every planning cycle and people quietly adapt around it instead of fixing it. I escalated through the documented channel with evidence and timestamps, yet each handoff restarted the process instead of moving it forward. Over weeks this compounds into avoidable overhead, especially for people with fixed schedules and little room for administrative delays. The platform does not need a full redesign to improve this, it needs reliable basics that remain stable over time.

I team passano piu tempo a sincronizzare tool che a risolvere problemi reali.

Il punto non e il singolo episodio, ma un difetto di processo ricorrente che si potrebbe ridurre con responsabilita chiare.

Candidates spend nights building custom case work with no feedback, then get declined with generic messages and no learning value.

People with relevant experience are filtered out because their wording differs from a template, not because their capability is missing.

Employees with years of track record must repeat six rounds as if no performance history exists, which signals low trust in internal growth.

Policy decisions are framed as culture improvements even when delivery metrics and team feedback show remote or hybrid models working better.

Teams commit to one target, then priorities get swapped at the end of the cycle and delivery quality drops under avoidable pressure. In my team this does not happen once in a while, it happens in almost every planning cycle and people quietly adapt around it instead of fixing it.
