Good Culture, Bad Managers
Good Culture, Bad Managers
Overall company culture is good. Team culture varies quite a bit.
Mid-level managers are generally bad at people management. A lack of leadership mindset and a focus on just managing a project, instead of the project and people, deteriorates team culture.
Be leaders, not managers.
