Management is oblivious to the reality of the work being done. Resources are over-stretched due to lack of planning. Contractors have more influence than permanent employees which is a direct reflection of the lack of leadership.

Leadership is mean and abusive to the team. Management by bullying. No one cares about you or your career or anything in your life. I was told to quit trying to get to know people I worked with. The expectations are ridiculous, there’s far more work than resources to do it and no one cares at all what that means to your or your life. There are on call responsibilities with the communications team that make it truly miserable. You are expected to be available 24/7 365. They will tell you there is a rotation for call and no one is on call more than a week every couple months. That is a blatant lie. Take a job on this team that involves being on call and you are signing up to work on every holiday and every weekend. Your life is not your own. Also the pay is low and bonuses are minimal.
