Toxic leadership at Exec level

Technical lead

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

You get to work great people, great teams. Top performers are rewarded well.

Cons

Executives are toxic. They talk down to people, even their own Technical managers. A lot of micromanagement. No psychological safety, your own manager will conspire against you, behind your back.
