• ~66% turned over within a year and a half (10 people in a staff of about 15). Average term is one year or less.
• As driven as you may be, support to be successful in your role is extremely limited. Sink or swim, cutthroat culture. One example: finding half an hour--even 10 mins--on a given week with sr. manager to have a focused discussion is a consistent challenge. It's rarely achieved. But expectations remain sky high.
• Heavily (!) top down structure.
• No performance review processes, 360s, regular feedback loops. Career development discussions are cunningly parried. They're strictly limited to one person within the org that's hand picked for grooming.
