A company filled with smart people, stifled by a terrible culture and bad leadership
The people are very smart, and the compensation is pretty good. The company does pretty much everything under the sun, so if you want to change job functions, it's not too difficult.
The company does not have a good way of accurately gauging talent or motivation. So, a lot of very high-up people do not have good judgment; they either are loud and can argue until everyone around them gives up, or they happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Change the review system so that peer feedback is directly taken into consideration for promotions.
