Extremely political with incompetent middle management

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great product.. and good work life balanced with good learning ops

Cons

I was on an extremely political team.. you’d be lucky if one person did not stab you in the back or try to take your credit. Honestly the work was too easy and I was used to working in startup and consulting environments and it was crazy that people were fighting over their projects so they had something to show for. Middle manager has no clue how to do anything and once asked me to put slide deck on the value of my tasks (that she assigned me) so she can present to her manager. Credit stealing is rampant. It was a shame because I loved the product.
