Product management is not clear

Some interesting projects and technologies.

Many of the issues originate with management. It sets the tone of the company with overt bigotism, and willingness to outright lie to employees to create a toxic workplace culture. An absence of any meaningful HR, coupled with an avoidance of confrontation leads to any conflict being resolved with mob mentality, rumor mongering, and gaslighting tactics designed to keep employees complacent. The company itself lacks any focus, with more projects than staff; leading to rushed prototype style code, consistent reinvention of the wheel, and a literal graveyard of dead and abandoned projects. Staff turnover is high. Career progression and performance reviews are virtually non-existent. Salary increases are offered in response to threats of resignation. Experience is viewed more as a liability than a benefit, with juniors more valued for their cheap labour and willingness to accept unorthodox business processes. Mentoring is limited (only 1 senior programmer remains), with the majority of staff fresh out of school and tasked with project lead positions.
