There are too many to list all, but just to give you a quick preview of what to expect: - Inexperienced upper management who should NEVER be in a leadership role, EVER. - Lack of clear communication across teams, managers and company wide. Who is in charge? Who do we listen to? Why are there conflicting directions? Isn’t there a better, smarter, and more streamlined way to do this? Are we doing the right thing (sometimes even morally)? - A swinging pendulum of ever changing decisions that make no practical business sense - If any upper management are challenged, you are immediately scowled at and written off (and probably put on the “next up to layoff list” - Upper management are outwardly gossipy, have unruly and oftentimes scary mood swings, shout expletives, make derogatory remarks constantly, and encourage a culture that feels like an investment bank, not a tech company - Which leads me to state the WARNING, this is NOT a tech company … they’re not quite sure what they are or where they are headed, but they sure have fooled their investors and people looking from the outside in - Most female workers are not taken seriously, definitely not heard, and many are hired for their looks. The glass ceiling is alive and thriving here. - Unforeseen layoffs … so many layoffs … they’ve churned through hundreds and hundreds of good employees - Turnover - any truly smart person that has any sense of self worth will not last long here and find work elsewhere ASAP. And because of this, more and more work will get dumped on you and suddenly added to your “goals”. Good luck meeting them. - Work/Life Balance - they tell you you will have it, but when you are expected to be available from sunrise into all hours of the night. You’ll soon realize this does not exist here. And if you attempt to have it, don’t expect to have your job long.
