Poor communication. As an org it struggles with the ability to diffuse information among employees. Leads to a lot of frustration and extreme inefficiency. Weak technical leadership, which leads to a lot of tech debt which is not paid off Ineffective leadership, adds to the communication issues. Lots of thrashing. For example, verbal communications without written records leads to a lot of loose interpretation of goals and objectives among many employees even the leadership. It's a start up so it's still getting it together.

- poor work/life balance. Working from home is not allowed at all (when I️ was very mildly sick I️ was expected to use sick time instead of working from home). The office is in a very inconvenient location which meant a lot of people had tough commutes but management doesn’t care about their employees enough to let them split up the week by working from home one day. - management cannot be trusted. They hide important information from their employees and even straight up lie to them on a regular basis. - management is unwilling to put in the effort to develop the foundation of the organization which leads to everything being way more difficult than necessary. This caused the company to be very slow to fix problems and develop new features. Another side effect was that the culture was very blamey. When something went wrong management was very quick to reprimand people. - management is unwilling to take responsibility for anything. Decisions were getting passed around because no one wanted to take the responsibility for them. When decisions proved to be poor management was unwilling to man up and accept their mistakes. Instead they constantly would make excuses and point fingers at others. - the management team does not have the skill or experience to be in the positions they are in. They constantly made decisions that were obviously poor. The CEO is afraid to stand up for himself. He would bend to the whim of the investors no matters how terrible of an idea they had.
