Pros

Everyone leaves their webcams off during Zoom meetings.

Cons

This is a toxic environment with no accountability.

Ableist language, mocking disabled veterans and those with cognitive disabilities, has been used by senior team members as well as leadership.

I, foolishly, raised my concerns about that with my manager in private, only to later be accused of trying to spin the situation to my benefit (huh?).

As far as I'm aware, there are no other avenues for reporting events like this that don't involve me risking my job any further.

Very big "old boys' club" culture.

There's very little diversity and a ton of nepotism hires.

Management is aloof, typically unresponsive, and uninterested in leading. I've also found that they often lack the emotional intelligence, tact especially, to manage people effectively.

The unlimited PTO is a lie; I had more time off while working at a grocery store.

There is no culture of learning, and the "rockstar" engineers get preferential treatment.
