Thanks for sharing your feedback. I'm really glad you are optimistic about the business and have made friends of your work colleagues.
There aren't quick fixes to your critique but I will make sure the executive team understands the frustration you've shared.
In the meantime, I'd suggest you reach out to a senior manager you feel comfortable with and share this feedback. The more people are involved, the more likely it is to get corrected and improve.
