- Constantly changing priorities: Leadership does not seem to know what they're doing across any org. The list of priorities shifts based on whatever shiny new object a former consultant deems important, or based on whatever Amazon is doing. Leadership will tell you to "ruthlessly prioritize your time" but then they will require you to do menial tasks that serve no real impact other than "checking a box" and if you push back, you get told to just work harder.
- Zero work life balance: Expect to work 12 hour days and weekends in just about any department because leadership refuses to open up headcount and just keeps increasing the speed at which they expect work to be done and the amount of work.
- Bad managers with zero training: Most people managers have little to no experience in the work their department does (I once heard an AD in marketing ask what a "CTR meant") and they also offer almost no management training. Expect to spend most of your time explaining remedial things to leadership vs. actually doing the work, and receive zero professional development.
- Constant turnover: Rumor has it that the company is at nearly a 50% attribution rate, so expect your favorite coworker to be putting in their notice within the next year.
- Bullying and favoritism every which way: You will get bullied by management, and any mistakes you make will get used against you during review / calibration.
