A Masterclass in Dysfunction: Proceed with Caution
Pros
Exceptionally talented and kind colleagues who made the day-to-day bearable. Unlimited PTO — though good luck getting leadership to respect your boundaries when you actually try to use it.
Cons
Toxic leadership at the top: Fear-based management, zero accountability, and a revolving door of executives who treat their teams like disposable assets. Bullying culture masked as “high standards”: Harassment, gaslighting, and intimidation are rampant — especially from upper leadership. Reporting issues only paints a target on your back. Antiquated infrastructure: Outdated systems and disjointed platforms make even basic tasks unnecessarily difficult. Leadership demands innovation without investing in the foundational tools to support it. Lip service DEI: The public-facing diversity narrative is hollow. Internally, microaggressions go unchecked, and inclusion is more of a buzzword than a value. No real growth: Career development is virtually nonexistent unless you’re politically aligned with leadership. Promotions and opportunities are based on favoritism, not merit. Micromanagement masked as mentorship: There is no trust or autonomy — only constant interference, contradictory direction, and CYA behavior from the top down.
