Leadership does not have much of a long term vision, they are pretty short-sighted and lead the company in an ADHD like behavior with montly metrics and work focus keeps changing every month. Lots of conflicting incentives and work across departments, leadership does not align the departments well since they lack the vision for future. Work hours are demanding except 55-60 hours at least, quite few people show up at 9am and don't leave until midnight. PTO is unlimited but taking PTO is not welcomed, multiple instances when employees asked for PTO they were told to work at least 1-2 days during their PTO. Extreme high expectations, some teams have missed out their monthly target metrics, the next month instead of keeping them similar level to be more achievable for growth, the target metrics for next month increased even more significantly without any meaningful estimation.
