Honestly, this is the most toxic workplace culture I’ve ever experienced. There’s no real leadership, no structure, no support whatsoever, and no professional development. When people ask for help, it gets ignored. There’s no meaningful feedback, no meaningful review despite the contract outlines, and no real accountability. It feels like the whole place is run on ego, politics, and fear rather than any actual professionalism.
The nepotism for this size of a business is actually ridiculously insane. Exec appointments seem to be made through personal connection, while merit, capability, and experience are ignored. Child company leadership clearly lack the skills/knowledge needed for their roles, yet still carry the biggest egos in the room because she's a nepo baby. Instead of actually leading, they micromanage everything, act like dictators, and very emotionally manipulative. Absolutely bullies.
The whole thing feels less like a serious business and more like a private power structure. Decisions aren’t based on skill, science, evidence, or good judgement - they’re based on control, nepotism, and who has power. The founders are emotionally unstable, and deeply unprofessional. You would be surprised how you are treated and how you were spoken to.
They may also pressure you to sign questionable documents that are presented as routine paperwork, but appear to be more about protecting the company than being fair or transparent. It is dodgy, one-sided, and not worth the risk so you literally have to read through every line that you are signing. Absolutely disgusting behaviour for not treating people the right way.
