This company exhibits a deeply toxic management style with a disregard for its people. They profess to value their employees, but their actions contradict their words. The CEO openly acknowledges and even endorses the chaotic work environment, suggesting that employees should embrace this rather than addressing issues like burnout and toxicity. When he's approached about issues in the workplace, he brushes them off. He flat out refuses to address these issues because he does not care.
Leadership seems to have failed their way up into their positions not through merit but through sucking up. Their approach to people management is severely lacking, yet, for reasons unknown, this behaviour goes unchecked by the CEO. Leadership is not afraid to intimidate, and put down others when they disagree with different viewpoints. If you're on a call brainstorming ideas and they disagree with you, they unprofessionally put you down, rather than hearing you out. I've never encountered such toxic and unprofessional people. I've heard stories but was shocked to experience this firsthand.
The CEO, while a great businessman, has little understanding of how to run a company from a human-centric perspective. You would expect the hiring of competent HR leadership to mitigate this, but unfortunately, the HR team exacerbates the problem with their unprofessional conduct which I unfortunately cannot write here as this will be flagged (it was that inappropriate).
Working here has been a grueling experience, characterized by late-night calls and unrealistic expectations. The leadership is not only reactive but also openly displays their discord, affecting the entire company's morale. The lack of collaboration and unity among the top executives is palpable. It's understandable that leadership may not always agree or get along, but to openly express their distaste for their teammates is a disgusting display of unprofessionalism and immaturity. This behavior not only undermines the company's values but also sets a poor example for the entire organization.
This workplace might suit those who align with an outdated, boomer mentality of work. The company culture gives off a vibe that employees should feel indebted for their job, despite the overwhelming workload. The compensation does not justify the extreme demands placed on employees.
You're better off looking elsewhere.
