• Leadership has no clear strategy – priorities change weekly, often based on personal whims.
• Teams are constantly treated as disposable “firefighters” or tools, with zero respect for boundaries.
• Severe lack of resources: understaffed, underfunded, but overloaded with unrealistic expectations.
• No transparency in career growth or performance evaluation – promotions depend more on politics than merit.
• Culture drains you mentally and emotionally. Burnout is normalized, appreciation is rare.
