- long hours with no overtime

However, leadership is where the company falls short. While financial generosity is appreciated, true leadership is about fostering trust, respect, and accountability. Unfortunately, decision-making lacks transparency, and there are no real checks and balances at the top. Major decisions, including past layoffs, were handled abruptly, with employees locked out of their systems without warning and managers left uninformed. When concerns were raised, they were met with defensiveness rather than openness. The company’s approach to diversity and inclusion is also concerning. When employees raised concerns about the lack of diversity—not just in race, but also gender and perspective—the CEO responded dismissively, even describing the company as "exclusive" rather than engaging in meaningful discussion. Beyond this, there’s an unspoken culture of fear. Many acknowledge leadership’s problematic behavior in private but don’t feel safe addressing it openly. Without accountability, a truly inclusive and empowering workplace cannot exist.
