Not what it used to be - Anonymous Collectors Employee Review

Toxic middle management creates a lot of politics, manager keeps tab on every mistake and use them against you. It's not infrequent to hear the manager bad mouthing their own bosses and other team leaders, which creates a lot of distrust and doubts. Favoritism means that your opinion doesn't matter when you are not on the manager's good side. Some tech leads with a "my way or highway" attitude that makes career advancement virtually impossible. Condescending attitude and being talked down constantly destroys motivation.
