It runs like a government organization. Most managers are reliant upon contractors to get work done. There is too much fluff surrounding actual work. What could take one week to accomplish typically takes two to four months, and sometimes it won't see the light of day. Organizations change every quarter, so there is no stability.

The leadership truly don't know what their teams are doing. They are paid heavily to be mostly robotic, which makes it easy for them to lay off employees every quarter, a process they spend millions planning and executing. Most leaders have split personalities. They speak highly of your team's work and contribution, yet they can sleep every night and look themselves in the mirror while backstabbing your teammates. A majority of employees hang in there predominantly for the RSUs thrown at them. It is a truly poorly run organization that somehow gets lucky with a few masterstroke products, however it is very broken from the inside.

If you were good at what you are expected to do, you wouldn't second-guess your decisions every quarter and restructure and lay off and spend millions on severances to then hire other people with higher salaries and big bonuses. The math is not mathing.
