Solo Onboarding, Toxic Engineering Politics
Onboarding only took a month, and I did it on my own.
Backstabbing, deceit, racist, sexist culture. Most devious and self-promoting engineers win. If you want to do good engineering work, then go somewhere else. If you love politics and outsmarting your peers, then this is the place for you.
Fire your managers and start over with a fresh culture. Change your entire motivational system. This new one you're implementing will fail, just like the stack rank system. In fact, wait, it's the same.
