Business outlook

Pros

Friendly, smart colleagues, experience of F1. Some people genuinely care about the team and making progress.

Cons

Poor leaders who use intimidation, manipulation and other forms of passive aggressive behaviours. Fear culture, divide and rule mentality. Paranoid managers who love conflict, drama and creating animosity. Too much focus is placed on how to ruin the reputation of other managers and colleagues. It was exhausting and mentally draining to work in an environmmet where you have to walk on eggshells all day long. Overall a chaotic, dictator-style environment.
