- Management has almost no experience and is guided by emotion rather than any business tact, plan, or data. They seem to make every disagreement personal, which often blocks progress and conflict resolution.
- They favour those in their inner circle with lofty job titles and high salaries, and immunity from discipline or sanction, while imposing bizarre principles (that seem to have come from a 1990's management textbook) across the rest of the company, regardless of a person's experience, performance, or specific case.
- They will take everything they can get out of you, without being willing to reward you for your work. (You need to beg for raises, and they'll treat you like a sponge for it no matter how hard you work.)
- The only way to get any reward or recognition for your contribution is to: (1) make yourself indispensable, despite getting no guidance or resources in doing so, and then (2) get a competing job offer.
- Management team seems to have suffered from a lot of substance abuse issues in the past year. It sounds like they're cleaning up now, but it was embarrassing to watch and painful to navigate, and lead to a lot of solid people losing hope and passion.
- I worked in the Amsterdam office, but I hear the Boston office has it's own host of problems (particularly bullying).
