The F word.... family. You know that when a company uses that word they're manipulating you into working really hard... yet what family that you'd WANT to be part of can dump you? Treat you as expendable? You can get incredible performance reviews and be shown the door a week later. There's a lot of backstabbing and bullying, gossip, and nepotism. Some upper level management are untouchable because they're family friends, yet chaotic and under qualified. Everyone at the VP and above level is engaged in vicious competition with each other, and there's constant fear of leadership, and despite saying they value transparency, you cannot speak up without harsh retribution. "Responsible time off" policy actually means 3 weeks and people constantly watch each other's use of time off, leading to fear and people not taking time off.
