Toxic leadership - Avoid at all costs - Anonymous employee Biorce Employee Review

Leadership operated with a level of ego and overconfidence that consistently got in the way of professionalism, accountability, and realistic decision-making. Constructive feedback did not seem welcome, and disagreement was often treated as disloyalty rather than collaboration. There was also a noticeable culture of favoritism/nepotism and insider relationships that affected hiring, promotions, and influence within the company. Merit did not always appear to be the deciding factor. A recurring issue was the disconnect between internal reality and external messaging. Employees were regularly encouraged to believe extremely optimistic narratives around growth, product maturity, and customer success that did not match what many teams were seeing firsthand. Turnover was relentless, morale was unstable, and abrupt departures became normalized. Entire teams operated under constant uncertainty, while leadership often appeared more focused on image and optics than on building sustainable processes or supporting employees effectively. There are talented people working there, but the environment created by management made it difficult to trust leadership, plan long term, or feel confident in the company’s direction.
