- Highly hierarchical. It will make you feel like you're in an episode of Mad Men minus the cigarettes.
- Managers are not actual managers, they're just people who've been in the company for far too long and have been given senior titles to make them feel like they're better than others which is bad news for junior members of the team as you'll never get support, be it professional or personal as they do try very hard to show how little they care about you.
- No flexibility whatsoever and high disregard for one's personal life - no mental health support or any sort of concession when it comes to balancing work with your personal life.
- No progression unless that involves constant brown-nosing for at least a few years and one shows no signs of having a mind of their own. Just stick to the status quo and inflate your "manager's" ego and you might get far...one day.
- Complete disregard for performance and effort as what's important is to make your superiors feel like they're better than everyone else.
- Seriously, I was never told "thank you" by any of my managers during all the time I spent working there.
- Once someone becomes a "Vice President" (followed by Senior VP, Super Senior VP, Super Duper Executive VP, King of the World and whatever other inflated title they can come up with to mirror their egos) they feel like they can yell at junior staff, bully them, and even dismiss them as HR is very much in line with this hierarchical structure.
- Please make yourself a favour and work for someone who values you as these guys would sell their own mothers if that makes them look better so imagine how they'll treat you.
