Mostly nice teammates, good food options, cool tech.

This company suffers from a deeply toxic culture driven by poor leadership. Management relies heavily on favoritism and believes in throwing you under the bus, rather than fostering trust, collaboration, or innovation.

Employees are not empowered to contribute meaningfully, feedback is often ignored, and career progression depends more on office politics than performance or merit.

The result is an unhealthy, demoralizing work environment where stress runs high, feedback can get you fired, and decisions lack transparency. Talented people burn out and leave, which speaks volumes about the culture.

Twice a year perf reviews with no focus on employee satisfaction and sentiment.

Focus on merit-based recognition and career growth, not favoritism.

Create a transparent, respectful culture where diversity is valued.

Lead by example — integrity and accountability must start at the top.
