Authoritarian CEO, toxic culture, and rampant favoritism
Pros
Remote work opportunities. Fast decision-making processes (if you don’t clash with someone’s personal interests).
Cons
Authoritarian hired CEO. The company is led by a CEO with a tyrannical approach who rules through fear rather than respect. Rampant favoritism and nepotism. Promotions are purely based on personal connections, not professional merit. No clear strategy or product vision. Priorities change daily depending on leadership mood swings, leading to constant chaos. Toxic and bureaucratic environment. Despite claiming to be agile, internal processes are suffocated by endless approvals and micromanagement. No feedback culture. Criticism is treated as a personal attack, and public humiliation is common. Incompetent leadership. Many managers lack basic product or team management skills and operate purely through intimidation.
