The culture at the leadership level is deeply unhealthy. Strategy changes multiple times a year, often with very little explanation. Teams are asked to sprint toward one big priority, invest months of effort, and then watch the work get thrown away when leadership pivots again. Then everyone is told to immediately run at the next new idea. It is like being in a permanent fire drill.
You cannot run at sprint pace forever, but that is the expectation here. Burnout is not an exception; it is the norm.
There is also a real issue with psychological safety. Leaders say they want feedback, but people who speak up, push back, or raise concerns often find themselves sidelined or labeled as not a fit. The safest path is to say yes to everything, even when it does not make business sense. Over time that drives out anyone who is willing to be honest or think independently.
Another red flag is the level of attrition among employees. They are not leaving for a slightly better opportunity, instead people are leaving because staying has become untenable.
I have personally observed behavior at senior levels that I would describe as toxic.
