Micromanagement to the extreme. Everyone's validating their jobs, half of which should not exist.
Endless, worthless meetings. Weekly “huddles” devolve into power plays—no real decisions are made, and you leave more confused than when you entered.
Culture of jockeying for position. Everyone’s angling for the next title bump; collaboration goes out the window. No reason to try. Nepotism is the only thing you need.
High turnover. Most of your teammates won’t last past 12–18 months. The ones that do are gone after 2+ years.
Leadership disconnect. The CEO and upper management (18 VPs!) are completely detached from day-to-day operations. They dole out mandates with zero input from the folks on the ground.
Patriarchal, old-boys’ club vibe. Ideas from newer or female employees are routinely sidelined or ignored despite there being four or so female VPs. Pandering to ego is the real job.
