Upper management : Unrealistic expectations and goals, incredibly low budget given to employees while still billing clients at ridiculously high prices (I'm guessing the upper management takes all the money while doing none of the work), 2% annual raises are standard but be prepared to walk on water if you want a promotion or anything beyond 2% raises (all of my coworkers in the office have NEVER had or seen that happen unless if it was an EXTREME case), There was some talk about performance bonuses but I think they were only given to senior engineers or higher (I don't expect the bonuses to be that much anyways, maybe 2% salary max). If multiple employees leave due to bad middle management, upper management won't do anything so don't even bother saying anything in the exit interview
Middle management : I have a feeling what you experience is heavily influenced by middle management in this company. I have seen behaviors of middle management in the office ranging from checking on employees on Skype if he's offline for 1-2 hours or checking up on project progress every 15 minutes or getting off when an employee occasionally arrives late by 10-15 minutes or expecting employees to jump over hoops for unexpected deadline changes (even if it involves working 60+ hours weeks through weekends unpaid or 30 something hours continuously overnight partially paid due to not enough budget).
Wage is roughly 10% below other competitors, 15 days PTO, 6% 401k match vested in 3 years, average healthcare, lots of unpaid overtime expected, no performance bonus, standard 2% annual raise and higher raises are almost unheard
