Toxic culture and unprofessional leadership
Pros
Some coworkers are kind and try to support each other despite the hostile environment. The facility and tools are decent—if you’re ever granted access to them.
Cons
Toxic leadership culture discourages communication and collaboration. High turnover in critical departments. Tribal knowledge dominates due to silos between teams. Deadlines are missed frequently, and the root causes are often hidden or misrepresented. The CEO is disconnected, yelled at my team for issues we weren’t involved in, and shows little understanding of how to lead. Took over three months to receive access to basic software. Office politics are rampant, and management ignores well-known internal issues. When concerns are raised, employees are told to "toughen up" regardless of context. Mental health is dismissed, and staff often have to comfort each other after toxic interactions.
