Behind the corporate façade lies a culture that quietly drains motivation and skill.
-Pay: Consistently 20–30 % below industry average. Salary “reviews” are ceremonial. Raises, if they appear, are less than inflation.
-Management: Dominated by outdated hierarchies and middle managers who confuse control with leadership. Decisions flow top‑down with no technical reasoning.
-Career growth: Promotions are decorative — used to keep people from leaving, NOT to recognize talent. Seniority here means surviving, not improving.
-Toxic micro‑politics: Gossip, favoritism, and subtle bullying are routine. Constructive feedback is treated as rebellion.
-Culture: Innovation is talked about, not practiced. Most teams recycle old solutions just to meet unrealistic deadlines.
-Learning: Zero structured mentorship. Training happens only after hours — if you’re still awake enough to care.
The longer you stay, the less you believe things can change. People stop complaining not because they’re happy — but because they’ve given up.
