❌ Mass layoffs with no transparency – ATB gutted entire teams suddenly (UX & leadership included), leaving employees blindsided.
❌ Chaotic tech strategy – No standardized design system, inconsistent tech stacks (Material UI? AntD? Bootstrap? Pick one!), and lack of leadership in execution.
❌ Reactive leadership, not proactive – Management ignores warning signs until it's too late, then rushes bad decisions.
❌ Reorgs every few years = zero job security – If you’re not in a revenue-generating role, your job could be cut at any time.
❌ Career growth is limited – ATB focuses more on internal politics than actual talent. Promotions are rare unless you’re part of the “in” crowd.
