Biannual apex cycle. Trying to copy meta culture Getting toxic

1. No planning. Upper management (won't call it leadership as there was none) will just give some adhoc tasks with unrealistic adhoc deadlines without considering the effort involved because estimating effort requires some planning. As a result team always in fire-fighting mode with no work-life balance. 2. No ownership. Engineering manager will do micromanagement with no sense of ownership provided to the team members. Everyone from P40 -P60 doing P40 work. 3. No designing just execution. Regardless of the size of work, expectation is that you will design it in 2-3 days and then jump into execution as if you are aware of all the systems involved, irrespective of your experience in the team. As a result people doing half-baked designs upfront and then all kinds of dependencies and blockers get discovered during execution.
