Toxic environment - Project Manager Backbone (CA) Employee Review

No pros at this time

Everything, founders, strategy, employee treatment

I am struggling to think of any pros. The product is great and some of the people that I get to work with make it bearable.

-Same people are consistently recognized for their "contributions". -Everything funnels through one of the co-founders which slows processes to a near stop until they decide its time to work on it then employees are expected to drop everything to tend to their request. -The culture is insanely toxic because of the emotionless leadership and intimidation. -People are regularly fired and the rest of the Company gets zero communication but are expected to pick up the pieces and continue without inturruption for fear of losing their own job. -No regard for you as a person, your emotional well-being, or any life outside of work. This has gotten a little better at the CA office. Not sure what/if they've done to help remote employees (seems about 50% of the company) -Unrealistic expectations from upper management and you are expected to work on THEIR schedule. -Communication is a nightmare. EVERYTHING is a secret and on a need-to-know basis. Your work isn't good enough unless you learn to read minds.
