Currently a toxic, fear-based culture - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Knix

Hands down the CPO. I’ve never worked in a place that’s more toxic and fear-driven. It’s pretty well known that the second you get on the CPO's bad side, you’re out. If you’re not bending to every whim or voicing “approved” opinions, you’re seen as a problem and usually subsequently fired. The recent messaging from her on LinkedIn is horrible. They basically tell you, “If you don’t like coming into the office, quit.” No empathy, no understanding, just this constant push to conform or leave. It’s become clear that if you have any personal concerns or if you're upset about any policies, you better keep your mouth shut. This fear of speaking up is real, and it feels like no matter how much you contribute, if you step out of line, you’re gone. On the other side it’s well known if you just go along with things it’s in your benefit. This toxic, fear-based culture comes straight from the top. If feels like the CPO is all talk when it comes to values, and the reality is she prioritizes control over employee wellbeing. This is further amplified by the fact that she has been overheard calling people dumb and stupid. The sad part is what they advertise on the outside doesn’t match what happens on the inside. You’re better off finding a company that genuinely practices the values they promote.
