The corporate culture is toxic, and it’s driven by a CEO who exacerbates it! People are rewarded by taking credit for others’ work. It’s a culture of people fighting to keep their salary and make a big bonus for themselves. Very little drive from management to win by doing actual real work rather, they play political games and manipulate people with mind games. Most all innovations are a “me too” and any profit I saw was made by constantly slashing the budget for travel and firing long-standing employees. The work they had would then just get re-distributed onto employees overloading the work horses with multiple jobs. If they did replace fired staff, they would bring in young, inexperienced new hires who didn’t know any better. That would exacerbate the upper management to continue to earn inflated salaries and trick them into thinking they were guilty of doing no wrong. The few that remained would be promoted to levels far beyond their experience, making them completely unable to fulfill their roles properly. The culture just snowballed like this until it was so toxic rats started jumping off the sinking ship. All the good people left, because they were smart enough to know it was not a healthy workplace. Next to that, I experienced rampant misogyny with blatantly litigation-worthy comments being made.
