There are very clear deficiencies at this company. Namely:

• Many people have a thick skull and always think that they’re right; they have zero empathy.
• People could care less about building relationships. It’s about playing politics to have your way and pointing fingers when things go wrong.
• People appear to work, but are mostly chatting on messaging systems with their family or friends.
• An extremely white-dominated company. They only care about their perspective and how they can thrive. They don’t care about you or your success.
• I went through four layoffs and survived all of them. The last layoff on my team only affected people of color and women. When reported, leadership did nothing, brushed it off, and completely dismissed it.
• Leadership that does not have time to listen to you. They shake their head before you finish your thought, interrupt you as you speak, and speak down to you, constantly.
• A place with double standards. If you’re not white, they won’t hesitate to correct your grammar, when you speak or on your written work, as if the substance of the message isn't there (please!).
• "If someone put a gun to your head, could you make it work?"
• Racists in disguise.
