A Masterclass in Dysfunction — Proceed with Caution

Director level position

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

- Talented individual contributors who genuinely care about doing good work. - Occasional moments of collaboration despite the toxic environment.

Cons

- Leadership is inexperienced, reactive, and more focused on optics than outcomes. - Feedback is not welcomed unless it reinforces preexisting narratives. - Performance reviews are inconsistently delivered—if at all. - Psychological safety is nonexistent; retaliation for honesty is a real risk. - HR is ineffectual and lacks follow-through on basic requests. - Strategy shifts with the wind, creating instability and confusion across teams. - A culture of favoritism and performative inclusion rather than actual equity or support

Cons

Pathetic manager in D3 SRE, Doesn't know anything about managing people and spreads his toxicity all over the department. This not only story of a single manager here, senior managers, directors etc. are of similar attitude. Micro management is at its peek. The work over weekend and extended hours is not payable and that is clearly mentioned. No one will ever appreciate your hard work and every-time you will end up depressed and demotivated. Its a hell place to work. Refrain from joining even they can pay you more, as after paying you more they will say that your work as per your pay is not satisfactory.
