1. The US HQ office often smells like piping hot human waste because it’s a rented out warehouse across the street from the dump. Yet leadership talks with a straight face about how it’s a privilege to be there with the expectation of cult-like clapping and cheers to back up whatever delusion they are spewing that day.
2. Free lunch and an open office design aren’t work perks anymore, this isn’t 2010.
3. Absolutely no one enjoys being talked about in a different language 3 feet from where they are sitting, have managers sit unapproachable in closed-door meetings all day every day, wait weeks for any type of guidance on projects which require at least 5 people to approve before anything can move forward, then be told all the ways they are a disappointment. Meanwhile the people who are giving this horrible feedback were hired out of cultural nepotism while the peons around them have actual, usable skills. "Demoralizing" doesn't even begin to describe the company culture here.
4. For every picture posted of a team smiling at the camera, there is someone off-camera whom absolutely no one respects anyway literally yelling for everyone to look more happy. The entire company reeks of fake smiles and superficial niceties.
