Recruiters are unclear and make promises about things that aren’t true. There are long vesting rules around when you can actually receive bonuses. You're not eligible for a raise or bonus for at least a year after starting. It's VERY disorganized. People without proper experience are running the schedules. The quality of designs is not good. Management comes off impersonal, and there’s no culture (no office events, happy hours, holiday parties, etc).

Get to know the people working for you; foster mentorship and growth. Motivate people and stop making it seem like promotions, bonuses, and other incentives are unattainable or rarely given or deserved.
