Senior execs are out of touch, petty and fail regularly at good communication. Leadership at all levels like to talk about transparency but do not walk their talk. No females on board of directors. Executive team very male-centric. Decisions are made by the few at the top while others are left to manage the day to day with low pay and very low team morale everywhere. Favoritism abounds on finance team, with one select group getting very obvious preferential treatment.
Culture is young, clique-ish, immature. Salaries are low and HR likes to make excuses for not giving people raises commiserate with their titles, promotions, experience and past performance. Lots of excuses why things cannot be done for certain people while rules are bent or flat-out ignored for others.
People with no management experience are promoted without adequate training.
Overall, the same old same old - there are pets who get the money and the promotions. If you dare raise your voice about a sincere concern or problem, you're vilified. Poor behavior and harassment overlooked if you've been at the company long enough. Members of the leadership team are overly dramatic and have temper tantrums. If you are an individual contributor, you are expected to suck up this behavior. Men are treated differently than women. Favoritism abounds.
