Amazing colleagues and firm culture.

Sometimes work load gets demanding

There are a handful of smart, hardworking colleagues who do their best to survive the chaos. Working with them was often the only bright spot in an otherwise dysfunctional environment.

The company engaged in massive over hiring in 2022 with no real plan for how to use employees’ skills effectively. Managers with little to no experience were pushed into leadership roles and provided no training or support. Toxic behavior was routinely ignored, and in some cases rewarded. HR complaints about bullying, especially toward women, were brushed aside, and one such individual was later promoted. Reorganizations were constant but rarely had any real strategy or execution behind them. The organization was weighed down by layers of middle managers with weak technical skills, which led to cut throat infighting as people scrambled to “own” projects and remain relevant. The org chart lacked accountability, and my direct manager made no effort in my final year there to provide guidance or show interest in my work. On top of this, the company has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs over the past year, further eroding morale and trust. Ultimately, it has become a toxic environment driven more by politics and self-preservation than by genuine leadership or collaboration.
