No leadership or direction: Senior staff provided little to no guidance. Decisions were often made arbitrarily, with no strategy or communication.
Toxic culture: Developers were frequently criticized for "not doing enough," regardless of effort or output. Appreciation is nonexistent.
No feedback loop: The prevailing attitude was "no feedback is good feedback," which made growth or course correction impossible.
Unwelcoming atmosphere: The culture is cold and unfriendly. Social cliques dominate, especially among original employees. If you’re not part of that inner circle, you're invisible.
Inexperienced management: Particularly in the tech department. Leadership lacked experience outside the company, a red flag that shows in every decision they make.
Disorganized and demotivating: No clear goals, constant shifting of priorities, and a tendency to blame rather than support teams.
