Incredibly Toxic, Political and Gaslighty
Incredibly Toxic, Political and Gaslighty
- They pay better than most in the same market.
- Outwardly, the culture is positive.
- 90% meetings in Mandarin
- 996 is a low estimate for my team's working hours
- Artificial deadlines are used to generate unnecessary urgency (constant crunch)
- Leaders are out to look good and cover themselves; they will not provide any value but will make sure they are seen to offer support in front of their superiors
- One of the company values is openness, but a lot of backchannel politics goes on between more senior staff, not excluding HR.
Choose better leaders; don't value the facade of leadership over actual leadership ability.
