Svantaggi
- Very high-stress and toxic work environment - Poor work–life balance; employees are often contacted during vacation or sick leave with assignments, and personal time is not respected - Leadership plays favorites and can fixate on one mistake, which impacts how you are perceived long term - Company promotes strong cultural values but leadership does not model them - Hypocritical expectations of a “corporate” environment, while leadership often demonstrates casual and unprofessional behavior - wearing sweatpants in the office, walking around with no shoes on, screaming across the halls for others, overlooking simple courtesies [good morning, how are you, welcome back, etc] - Leadership tends to be condescending, treating employees more like subordinates than equals - CEO is unwilling to take accountability and often shifts blame to others - Leadership’s emails are frequently unclear, full of errors, and difficult to interpret, and employees are often dismissed when seeking clarification - Poor time management from leadership—meetings are scheduled well in advance but frequently canceled or delayed at the last minute, wasting employee time and resulting in delayed timelines -Projects frequently fall behind schedule due to leadership not completing their own tasks, leaving teams scrambling to meet deadlines
