1. Wasteful management of time, resources, (LOTS of) money, and employee cycles/productivity to cover their poor business management choices overall.
2. Burning out their team resources left and right and not giving a damn - with zero thought to continuity management, let alone having to 100% redo projects due to the lack of understanding or whim of whomever holds the magic totem pole for the week/quarter/year.
3. Blatant harassment and/or horrific management styles ignored by HR (or worse, condoned by HR). Very fratboy-centric behavior and allowed comments at management or above level (think of the derogatory terms that start with the letters B, C, and S - all used for woman typically - being used in open forums or meetings).
4. Let's call a spot a spot - the obvious "pay for play"/fake Glassdoor reviews done by a HR team or their lackeys under false credentials to boost the scores of the company and CEO (check the older listings - not so rosy or "perky!" in their descriptions).
5. Moving HQ to a new building to simply gain signage rights against I-95 corridor for the sake of the ego of the management team.
6. If they are so "transparent", ask them to publish their employee attrition rates. WAY higher than average software companies.
7. Non-competitive pay packages with zero ability to have a growth plan in career development.
8. No pay increases - they instead rely on AMEX/VISA gift cards to "reward" their employees.
9. Middle management has their lips pursed 24/7 on their boss's butt - zero management/guidance of how to groom their own people to gain skill sets, be better employees, work more collaboratively.
10. Get JVS and Bernd out of the way and maybe the absence of their egos will
correct the company - it is a constant "kiss the ring" mentality with each of them.
