The culture at 84 HQ, especially at the professional level, can be quite toxic. There have been troubling comments from high-level executives and issues with HR handling complaints and compliance. Changes or concerns are often overlooked to maintain internal harmony.
Management practices vary, with concerns about the effectiveness of those promoted into roles without relevant experience. Additionally, as a privately held company, 84 operates with a sense of impunity, which could lead to significant long-term issues if scrutinized by federal organizations.
The company operates on a "what have you done for me lately" approach, prioritizing reciprocity based on meeting their immediate needs and expectations.
