Toxic work environment, blame culture, lack of transparency, lots of gossip, and (often untrue) rumors being spread by top management. The bad work culture comes straight from the toxic CEO who only wants to hear how to quickly make money, he often changes the entire firm's direction in order to gain quick money without any consideration for long-term growth and strategy. Management does not like speaking about issues and problems in a proactive manner, they prefer to pretend obstacles do not exist or they try to get rid of you instead of trying to solve them. When the actual problem occurs they blame lower-level managers. HR is unqualified and does not support employees when needed. They do not align their actions with people's managers. Employees who earlier had connections to the CEO and/or HR are being praised and promoted (CEO's friends, friend's kid, etc.) The company lacks USP and value proposition, the technology used focuses on manual support, and it is not scalable. The video content offered is not unique, often available for free elsewhere. The company seems to focus on the quantity rather than the quality of products and services. It is a very sales-led organization where promises that are not in line with the current offerings are made in order to make quick money, this results in unrealistic expectations and a lot of pressure on the technology team. Hence, the ethics of the sales teams seem very questionable to me. Some engineering individuals constantly try to dictate what should be worked on next, telling the product what to do but not sharing the responsibility in case the plan does not work out - this behavior is sadly backed by the CEO and HR. Upper-level management can't be questioned if one wants to say on good terms with them, they seem confident to be always right and refuse to collaborate with other employees that are often specialists in a given space. CEO and HR talk very badly about former employees, spreading untrue information and false reasons for their leaving.

The CEO's managerial skills are not the best and company direction depends on who's in favor that is whispering on his ear at the time.
