Toxic Management Drove Away Great Talent

Systems supprts specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

* Excellent products and talented engineers. * Great opportunity to learn cutting-edge security technologies.

Cons

* Toxic middle-management culture. * Office politics and favoritism often seemed to outweigh performance and technical ability. * Unrealistic expectations and a work culture that normalized 10–12 hour days, leading to burnout. * Employees who prioritized work-life balance often felt at a disadvantage. * Talented engineers left because they felt undervalued, while management failed to address the root causes of low morale and high turnover. * Feedback from engineers frequently appeared to be ignored, and accountability for poor management was lacking.

Good pay and benefits, but toxic micromanagement

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent Benefits, Remote Work, Good Pay

Cons

The organization suffers from extreme administrative overhead and redundant reporting requirements. Employees are required to submit weekly progress tracking, separate weekly high-priority task tracking, alongside monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual updates. Compounding this issue, the same data must be manually formatted into five different spreadsheets for various leadership tiers. This culture of micromanagement severely impacts productivity, redirecting valuable time away from core project execution and toward repetitive administrative upkeep.
