Crippling bureaucracy. Politics. The GRAD system is causing stack ranking of teammates. Even the smallest tasks become hurdles due to process or seemingly unnecessary requirements. No autonomy.

I am the only other American on my team (non-white); my teammates are constantly speaking in non-English languages, and I am left to fend for myself. Basically Amazon now.
Sweatshop culture is not a good vibe.
