Toxic Culture of Nepotism - Recensione dipendente - Consulting Engineer presso Neo4j

Cons of working for the company include a pervasive culture of favoritism, where personal connections often overshadow merit, stifling growth and creating a toxic environment. The company tends to hire individuals from the same previous company, fostering an exclusive "inner circle" that alienates others. While there is much talk about "company culture," it lacks substance, resulting in a high turnover rate, especially in the APAC region, and little sense of belonging. Career progression is unclear, with feedback systems appearing as mere smokescreens, as no genuine effort is made to engage, inspire, or guide employees. Constructive criticism is discouraged, often leading to reprisals against those who don't conform.
