Signs of a dying company: Politics over innovation

2.0
No CEO Opinion
Pros
  1. Pays well
  2. Good benefits
Cons
  1. Middle management is biased and filled with politics.
  2. Often, politics takes over all good ideas and isolates the folks who brought them in the first place.
  3. Communication within the group is all fake (it's all projection).
  4. People are often targeted (and there's a chance that you'll be forced to think about jumping from a building).
Advice to Management

Inculcate ethics in middle management. Most managers project themselves as fair but are very biased.

VP and above level folks are good to the core. Director/Sr. Directors are often unethical and cause a lot of harm to the company.
