-Constant layoffs in small to medium numbers framed as "restructures" (at least 6 in the last 18 months). The positions eliminated often do not make sense and are frequently backfilled by hiring someone with a slightly different title to get around rehiring regulations. -Leadership says they live the company's values, but there is constant backstabbing, gossip, and politicking going on. -Goals are consistently forecasted incorrectly and leadership demands everyone sacrifices work/life balance to close gaps. Any sort of boundary setting is treated punitively. -The loudest voice in the room gets listened to (especially if they are someone who ingratiates themselves to senior leadership) regardless of whether or not they have experience and knowledge. -Several times, my team has been asked to violate industry laws, even when the requestor knows it would be a violation. -For a late-stage startup that frequently pivots and states initiatives that don't perform well are learning opportunities, there is a lot of blame, finger-pointing, and punishment handed out. -Leadership touts the company's inclusivity, specifically with the percentage of women and BIPOC employed, but there are no BIPOC in senior leadership and 2 of the 3 highest position in marketing are men.
