Dysfunctional leadership and high turnover — proceed with caution
Pros
There are a few genuinely kind, hardworking colleagues.
Cons
Toxic culture: gossip, cliques, and high-school bullying energy everywhere. Constant rudeness — conversations feel like popularity contests, not professional discussions - no input to leaders - everything is done their way A handful of good, decent people exist… but they’re crushed under extra work while others coast. Leadership axed one of the only good recruiters — someone who actually understood empathy and knew how to handle people. The fact that he was let go says everything about where the company’s priorities are. Top-down rot: poor leadership, impulsive decisions, and endless restructuring with no stability. Hiring dysfunction: engineering leaders can’t even hire engineers without approvals from non-technical people who add no value — it’s bureaucracy at its worst. Morale black hole: good people get pushed out, empathy isn’t rewarded, and what’s left is burnout and chaos. This place feels unsalvageable — on track to burn to the ground.
