—Job expectations are consistently changing and increasing, while the pay and title remain the same —No work-life balance due to job creep —Toxic leadership from the C-suite down —They pay my non-POC peers more than me despite having similar job experience —The company claims to want a diverse workforce, but a quick look around the office proves that inclusion is just words, not an action they genuinely care about prioritizing
