Leadership micromanages and makes major decisions without planning or input. This includes tool changes, process shifts, and strategic pivots that create confusion and rework.
Promises made during hiring are not always honored. For example, fully remote roles have been shifted to mandatory in-office expectations without clear reasoning.
Very high turnover. Constant hiring, firing, and resignations make it difficult to build momentum or maintain stability.
Low morale across the company. Employees often feel frustrated, undervalued, and uncertain about direction.
Lack of diversity and inclusion. Leadership does not prioritize building a diverse team or creating an inclusive culture, and it shows throughout the organization.
Inconsistent standards and uneven treatment. Policies (like office requirements) are not applied uniformly, which contributes to mistrust.
