Any form of leadership above team lead is bad or becomes bad. There was a saying at Paycom “don’t get close to the sun” referring to the CEO. Leadership became worse the closer you got to the CEO.
The culture is toxic because there is so much instability, confusion, wish washiness. The company is very punitive and will fire or eliminate rolls without much thought.
What makes things worse is the company is almost hedonistic, constantly proclaiming all she awards it receives as “best place” to work but majority of employees current and present don’t feel the same.
