Toxic management with ineffective leadership
Pros
Basically a content farm with undervalued employees. Boots on the ground folks, the ones who are actually creating value in your product, are some of the most hard working and friendliest people in the org. You can take a lot of time off as long as your work gets done.
Cons
Management is made of yes-people all the way up, like cult. There is very little employee driven innovation because ideas are ignored or taken with hostility unless it comes from some favored individuals. It is very clear which types of people get promoted. Hint: Not the smart, hardworking, outspoken ones. Raises take forever and you will quickly get tired of essentially getting pay cut year after year. It is also disheartening to see that the bulk of the lower rung, poorly paid and overworked employees are women and POC. I don’t think they have a clear framework of competencies and levels. Everyone with decision making power flies by the seat of their pants, including the CEO who humiliates and curses at employees during company all-hands. Grow up.
