Talented Team Undermined by Toxic Leadership

Pros

There are genuinely talented and committed employees who care deeply about doing good work and supporting one another. Their passion and efforts help keep things moving in a challenging environment.

Cons

The culture is highly top-down and can feel toxic. A small group of senior leaders hold most of the decision-making power, often leaving others out of key conversations and limiting autonomy. Leadership practices at the highest level sometimes rely on public criticism as a motivational tactic, which can feel demoralizing and isolating. Communication is often poor, and interactions with leadership can feel cold or dismissive. There were times I was asked to manage information in ways that felt ethically uncomfortable. I also observed public criticism of employees that crossed the line into personal and unprofessional behavior.

Pros

Work stations were always cleaned and sanitized. Management's paranoid about viruses spreading.

Cons

It's a startup, a lot of growing pains, terrible decisions, and unstable leadership. Things were always changing, a lot of mistakes, and a lot of blaming! You won't know who your real friends are, so beware! Plenty of lies, plenty of fake people too.
