Leadership is a toxic mix of ego, fear, greed, and incompetence. Decisions are made for optics, not results. Acquisitions happen with no plan to integrate. All hands meetings are a joke and happen maybe three times a year — decks full of AI generated slides, buzzwords, and dodged questions while employees openly beg for honesty. Layoffs are handled with zero transparency or empathy and the calls are run by HR strangers while leadership hides in silence.
The company says one thing to the market about a single offering, single P&L, claiming to foster creativity, culture, and innovation, and yet internally it couldn’t be more different. Politics and nepotism beat merit every time. Due to all 30+ acquisitions and zero pay equity banding, salaries are wildly inequitable and leadership ignores the scale of the inequity. HR protects leadership, not employees. Morale is destroyed, likely beyond repair.
Financially the business is tanking — just look at the stock chart from the last five years and you will know everything you need to know. Yet somehow the company finds probably well over a million dollars to send executives and leaderships favorites to Cannes while quietly laying off hundreds of people who actually keep the lights on. It is a fear-driven, status-obsessed circus where politics and busy work replaces impact and real change. Leaders who barely have the skills to manage a team of 2, hold power over entire divisions. The anxiety of anticipating a layoff never stops.
