Pros
  • Product is relevant.
  • Looks good on resume.
Cons

The lack of fresh blood in top leadership is really affecting the company.

A hierarchical organization coupled with a promotion-driven culture is creating a very toxic work environment where only bullies thrive. It's very hard to get ahead, as most promotions are based on favoritism and fluff. Weak leaders are easily fooled by bullies who are ready to do anything to get ahead.

There is no teamwork. Workers are in harsh competition with each other, and collaboration is a joke. HR has no power and it just sides with managers.

Advice to Management
  • Take complaints about leadership seriously and purge the so-called leaders who are just playing games.
  • Make sure leaders are hired based on their merit and not because they fit into your "diversity" schemes.
