Visibility Over Results, Toxic Culture
Visibility Over Results, Toxic Culture
Short commute, large-scale technical problem, okay salaries, seemingly nice coworkers (who may actually complain to your boss behind your back).
Employees are rewarded for visibility rather than meaningful results. Success is measured by how much attention one attracts. Coworkers often talk behind people's backs and then complain to the boss. People organize meaningless meetings for competition to be seen rather than for real collaboration. Leadership teams have short-term optics versus long-term outcomes driving decisions, looking good in the moment rather than what sustains long-term success.
Squid game to PIP, 12-15% every six months. Lots of new hiring from FAANG companies, and some of those are really rude and toxic.
