Unethical leadership Constant lies to staff and clients Constant corporate restructuring Too many buy outs Too many bosses

Management is horrendous. I worked for the worst boss of my life. Management put together a small and inexperienced group and they expected us to perform the work of a large, seasoned team. When you did something that was brand new, they expected you to be perfect by the second attempt. That is simply not a realistic or healthy expectation for your employees, especially considering the complexities that our work entailed. I was miserable going into work by my second month. I worked 10+ hour days to try to make our deadlines. Our small group of engineers and drafters had to work on well over ten large projects at once. Needless to say that work-life balance didn't exist. Little recognition and terrible working conditions due to the boss calling out individuals and verbally abusing them constantly in front of the team. High employee turnover (another engineer was hired and left the company within two months). I wish I was exaggerating, but this was honestly the worst professional work experience in my career.
