Consistent trend of internally promoting people to management who didn't have enough skills to perform their initial jobs or contribute to their teams. Instead of putting low performer on PIP or letting them go, they would promote to team lead. No performance evaluations or goal setting. No expectation of growth or career development. Multiple years without even an annual cost of living wage increase. More recent focus on bonus plan that was consistently not achieved.

So many. It really hurt my career to work here. I have not found any positives. There is a lot of yelling and finger pointing from management to folks who may not even speak english well enough to understand what they did wrong. When problems arose management would default to "the boys club" and not actually see that the insane hours and working over several weekends and the HEAT on the manufacturing floor was causing anxiety and other mental health issues for most of the employees involved. The end of month and end of quarter "pushes" were the worse. Planning on any type of vacation, or dinner with family was near impossible if you worked on the manufacturing floor. Oh and "the boys club". They have a tendency to hire their friends who may or may not be qualified. But hey if you have a radio call sign you are qualified to work here! Doesn't matter if you have never used Linux before.
