The boss doesn't let you do your job and micro manages every aspect of what you are trying to do. Keeps piling on tasks with unrealistic deadlines that only a 1000 employee factor in china could achieve.

The company's entire structure is flawed. The CEO wants to micro-manage every single project, small and big, and doesn't always trust the professionals he hired. A lot of the company's revenue is dependent on research funds which means there is no steady flow of income in the company, making job security basically non-existent (hence why I no longer work there). They had and still have plenty of opportunities to invest on things that will make the company future-proof and more independent financially but for some reason prefer to be very nearsighted, focusing on what pays now and not in the long run. There is bigger value in seniority with the company than seniority in the field regardless of the actual quality of work the employee offers or the field the person is working in. This causes also many conflicts within employees who claim or pass authority to each other, thus resulting in so much miscommunication and lost time. At the same time there are a lot of family members of the CEO and other higher-ups working in the company which often results in conflict of interest or favouritism (other people have strict deadlines while some take months and months on a small project without any repercussions). Too many meetings, sometimes even repeating the very same topic and yielding the exact same results. The CEO sometimes censored people and ideas based on religious ideas (albeit the lesser of evils, still a major red flag). General disregard for an employee's personal time (CEO spamming emails during the weekend and demanding explanations on why we ignored them) as well as setting highly unrealistic deadlines. The CEO expressed that he demanded the company be our first priority (although credit where credit is due, he didn't always enforced that logic and showed understanding in certain occasions).
