• Micromanagement is rampant, trust in employees is virtually nonexistent.
• High turnover rates mean teams are constantly understaffed and overwhelmed.
• Inexperienced leads and senior leads make ego-driven decisions rather than business-driven ones, which harms both morale and outcomes.
• Salaries are far below market rates — I later discovered I could have earned nearly twice as much in a similar role at another tech company with similar perks.
• Mental health is a checkbox on paper only in reality, support is absent.
• Bullying from management is common, creating a toxic and unsafe work atmosphere making opportunities almost impossible to get.
