The application has no clear objective or direction and is plagued with bugs. Development often feels reactive rather than guided by a well-defined product vision. Management is a major issue. There are dedicated employees who put significant effort into planning and implementing thoughtful solutions, only to have management abruptly change direction in favor of cheaper alternatives that don’t align with the product’s needs. The complexity of technical issues is frequently downplayed. There is a noticeable disconnect between management and staff. Many employees clearly disagree with leadership decisions but feel uncomfortable speaking up due to fear of repercussions. Communication from management is poor and consistently hurts team morale. A large portion of time is spent in meetings that serve little purpose beyond filling calendars. On top of this, the company experiences multiple mass layoffs each year, creating an ongoing sense of instability and anxiety.

I have been here long enough to see the work culture shift from start-up mission to savior complex. Those that love to call themselves leaders and have meeting after meeting are more interested in power and accolades then impacting the world. Some of these "leaders" actually use words like "greasy" to describe their selfish actions, and others overcompensate by talking about impact when us low level staff know they mean promotion for themselves. The part that is hitting my limits is the toxic positivity of the new CEO and her exclusive group of yesmen. We get it, you think you can save everyone inside and outside the company from whatever you are too good or too rich to suffer from yourself. Please stop pretending that your positivity is all that others need to be better in work or life.
