Overworked underpaid all in an environment of complete toxicity and incompetency

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility, a lot of the workforce really want to create a positive culture of inclusivity, ownership, and accountability

Cons

Employees are completely burned out, expectation is to work 60-80 hours a week and be on call constantly. They use the words "well-being" as a priority but the actions are the completely opposite. All driven by an incompetent group of executives who are unable to make decisions, choose areas of focus, set priorities, and lead. The CEO acts like a rabid toddler when he doesn't get his way, and everyone runs around scared of him and his reactions. The organization is completely exhausted trying to achieve business outcomes for executives who are over compensated for the quality of leadership.
