Pros

A few talented individuals trying to do good work.

Cons

No planning or strategy — projects are chaotic and lack direction.

Technical decisions are driven by politics and pleasing leadership, not by what actually works.

Toxic behavior is tolerated; HR does not take employee concerns seriously.

No effort to build connection among employees — no team-building, nothing to make the workplace feel supportive or human.

Overall environment makes people focus on survival instead of doing their best work.
