Abusive leadership (below CEO level)
Extremely high turnover, now even among long time employees
Minimal work life balance - 12 hr days & weekends are typical & necessary
Unsustainable workload
Chaotic direction, documented best practices aren't followed
HR listens to reports of hostile work environment but nothing changes
Unclear team responsibilities, infighting among various team mgrs
Thousands of wasted resource hours on projects that weren't properly vetted prior to approval
I can only speak for the IT and project management areas. About 2 years ago, the leadership culture drastically changed. What was once a respectful, collaborative environment became a demeaning, unhappy situation. On my small team, over 30 people have come and gone in less than 2 years.
A large number of high tenured, knowledgeable people on many teams have left in the last 18 months. Finding a subject matter expert is increasingly difficult. One dev team of 12 lost 10 people over the last year. All of them were sharp, hardworking people who are now making a difference for other organizations.
