1: General atmosphere of mistrust - Salaried employees clock in and out, and fill out multiple timesheets, plus there are cameras everywhere.
2: Big focus on rules - It’s easier to get in trouble for taking a long lunch than it is for producing subpar work.
3: Not a place for creativity or ambition, just a place to follow orders.
4: No set process for approving and completing projects.
5: Management don’t have power of approval.
6: Run by two generations of a family who rarely see eye-to-eye - projects are often delayed past deadline, shelved, redone to please different family members, or started over after completion.
7: Based on a sleazy pyramid scheme/direct selling business plan.
8: Employees have to pay for office parties, yet the owners frequently brag about purchasing luxury hotels.
9: Feels like a declining empire - a lot of the office is empty, and nothing’s been updated in 20 years (be careful not to get stuck in the elevator when your fingerprint doesn’t scan).
10: Rigid, conservative atmosphere for employees, but the Founders’ grandkids literally ride razor scooters through the office, screaming.
11: You probably won’t be assigned to do what you were hired to do (half the Web Dev team does videography), but you may still be criticized for not doing what you were hired to do.
