I know of instances where senior management have mocked employees mental health, physical appearance and openly discussed ways to try and circumvent legislation designed to protect consumers. Engineering team is bloated with middle managers but based on the state of the main project/platform (late, over budget and feature poor) you'd think no one was managing it. Turnover of actual developers was pretty high.
Company town halls are just propoganda and hype - they used to brag about how ahead fo the competition they were and how they were even ahead of the other 'disruptors'. That competition got valued at over $1Billion last year and Inshur... didn't (they were unable to react effectively to Covid as they had hobbled themselves with the expensive, unecessary and poorly conceived & executed replatform mentioned above).
CTO is a sleazy salesman not an engineer. COO just sleazy. HR talk a good game about caring for employees, mental health etc. but anything shared in 'confidential' safe-space sessions is passed straight onto managers and the C-suite. CEO never displayed much of anything on which to form an opinion he was just sort of there.
