- Much of leadership would throw people under the bus to make themselves look good and take credit for their people's work.
- Everything was very political and you had to play a lot of games to get work done.
- False transparency was the name of the game. They would feign transparency to gain trust, but it was all just PR. The layoffs were handled very poorly, with the whole company being told that layoffs were a faint possibility if current conditions lasted for a year, but then laying off 10% of the company three weeks later. This wasn't an uncommon strategy.
- The product isn't even being used by the employees and most employees hate using it. There is a campaign to fix that, but it is going to be slow going. I don't think they'll fix that until they make all of the upper level management go through all of the certification courses so that they are completely proficient in using the software, and understand its limitations better.
- A known creep was allowed to work there in Security for years after many people reported his inappropriate behavior. It took someone finally proving that he had been soliciting sex from one of his subordinates to get him removed under the guise that he "wasn't living our values". All women had a collective sigh of relief.
- Even female leadership would say stuff like "you should wear your hair differently in order to be taken seriously" because someone's hair wasn't straight. Or you need to dress differently, even though the company has a casual dress code and many of the men were showing up in cargo shorts and t-shirts.
