Extremely disorganized
Too many middle management layers, many of which are incompetent or redundant
Very siloed groups, making it almost impossible to collaborate, share knowledge or ask for help
Fairly toxic company culture with groups functioning as adversaries, mostly because of overwork and understaffing. The first impulse is to deflect any responsibility. Process is completely bureaucratic and ineffective, and actual questions about how to manage time or priority are deflected by appeals to work more hours, but ambiguously. Hence work life balance is completely dependent on how you navigate this dynamic. You will be massively taken advantage of if you’re too passive.
