- Strategy changes constantly in every department. Leaders will forget the strategy they set for the week or month, then blame employees for acting on the newest piece of information
- Sales reps don't get communicated their goals until mid-month, and we're asked to lie about the quality of tools to users. Consequently, the reps who do lie and close bad deals are seen as "rockstars," and the rest of the team is left to deal with unhappy users
- Leadership has a bias towards men. They play favorites and make no attempts to hide it
- Leaders complain about culture, but when they come into the office, most will stare at their computers and make no efforts to engage. This excludes the CEO, who does make an effort to individually speak to everyone when he is in the offices
- On the other hand, CEO said on a company-wide call that he doesn't believe in work-life balance, and that he wants people who are 100% committed to Choco
- Pay is terrible. There's really no sugar-coating that. And goals are restructured constantly to make it increasingly difficult to achieve 100%
- Senior leaders in HQ will point the finger at anyone but themselves. Refuse to acknowledge their poor management, strategy, or even weaknesses of the technology itself as a potential reason for failure. Without fail, the blame lands on individual employees' efforts, intelligence, or abilities.
At the end of the day, they only care about padding numbers to look good to investors. They force their expectations on you with an iron fist, with no room for discussion or disagreement. Drink the kool-aid and pretend everything's fine, or be considered a low performer.
