Leadership is awful Poor retention Benefits have gone downhill Unlimited vacation (compared to previously generous PTO policy, everyone knows UV sucks) Stifled creativity in favor of traffic Sense of urgency around matters that are not at all urgent Promotions based on favoritism, not merit So many reorgs = low morale Ugly website
