Lack of leadership: Senior management frequently shifts direction without clear communication or long-term vision.
Moving goalposts: My probation period was extended from 3 to 6 months without notice, announced via a general email.
Unclear expectations: Despite positive feedback in regular check-ins, I was later told I wasn’t meeting expectations—with no prior indication or actionable feedback.
No structured onboarding or training: New hires are thrown into projects with little to no guidance or context.
Poor communication: There’s no consistent framework for setting or evaluating goals, especially for new employees.
Short-term focus: Leadership appears to care more about shipping fast than building sustainable, maintainable products. Feedback or constructive criticism is often dismissed, and questioning decisions is discouraged.
