...BUT, make no mistake, the advertised values don't actually shape or restrict the behaviors and actions of the owners/CEO. These values only exist as a scaffold to whip you against.
These owners successfully hire, cultivate, and promote personality types that they can control. No one ever treats the CEO like he treats everyone else, and simply put: he thinks the fecal matter coming out his mouth doesn't stink. But it does. The big stink.
Many meetings and conversations contained targeted direct verbal and emotional harassment by the CEO, amidst peers. It's quite shocking when you see and experience it for the first time. I've never seen anyone push back. Dude is a one-man army of unsupported assumptions and biases that he will attempt to force down your throat "with love" (he tells everyone he loves them) while offensively explaining how you wanted it or deserved it, even though he's way off base. If you resist/refuse that narrative tickling your tonsils, beware that ultimately your unwillingness to accept/agree will be indirect grounds for dismissal.
The CEO-created leadership style of metaphysical-nonsense, embodied in most of these zombie-leaders, tries to blur the line between therapist and employer, peer-pressuring vulnerable honest extractions in multiple contexts - then disseminating and sharing this private/sensitive knowledge. Multiple times I've seen these shared vulnerabilities used against the person later. I've even seen this pattern play out based on sensitive PHI, without any regard for medical privacy or concern for the individual (mind blown). I would not trust this leadership with any sensitive information.
Worst "HR" department ever! They are the designated cheerleaders of this backward-CULTure and are zealots in their own right. Just read the comments and narrative from them in these reviews. Try to imagine navigating your HR needs and communicating within that meta-language all day.
Summary:
This zombie-leadership with no individual backbone has sold itself into the cultish endeavors of the CEO. They will not hesitate to violate laws, contracts, norms, values, morals, and you - if you are perceived to question the CEO's agenda for his fiefdom or stand up for these targeted vulnerable people.
This company is not about software nor people, despite what they would have you believe; except that software and staff powers the economic engine. It is about the CEO and his "platform" (personal fiefdom) from which he derives $$ to pursue his exotic liberal self-serving agenda with a veneer of zen-like legitimacy - a veneer which I personally know is fake and sheddable whenever necessary.
