Beware of toxic teams

Senior research scientist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay. Nice office. Very smart colleagues. It could be a great experience if you are in the right team.

Cons

Some teams suffer from toxic leadership—I was stuck in one and left after a year. On my team, the PI belittled others’ efforts, dismissed opinions and ideas, and led with suspicion and distrust, creating an environment of extreme pressure and blame. This stifled collaboration, discouraged innovation, and resulted in poor project outcomes. When he learned I was exploring other opportunities, he began denying me work as a form of retribution. Despite his behavior being widely known, the company offered no support.
