Long hours for staff, no rewards

Worst management I’ve ever come across. No structure, no business processes & very disorganised overall (had to share a computer for the first 2 months after joining & expected to use personal mobiles for company business - no office/desk phones for 95%+ of staff). They still have a startup mentality with very little planning & big consequences for getting it wrong where they need to think, act & plan like a real company. Long hours are the unwritten expectation & don’t expect to have a life outside of work. They have a VERY (can’t emphasise that enough) well earned reputation for getting rid of anyone that doesn’t fit their mould precisely despite them desperately needing people with real world experience in the wider business world. If they actually used real HR processes to recruit, onboard and manage people properly they wouldn’t have such a bad reputation for using the 90 day trial on experienced technical people.
