* Company is set-up like a fiefdom. Constantly acquiring competitors to remove them as a threat, then promoting as many VPs as possible to do manager level work. Nearly half the company are VPs or higher who manage over the almost half are interns or entry level researchers who are given inflated titles.
* Heavy favoritism at play. You're not advancing an inch unless one of the VPs or higher likes you. And you are going to be bullied endlessly if a VP or higher doesn't like you.
* Almost no focus on training/development
* Nothing you do will ever really matter
* Endless pointless meetings without outputs or action items
* Below average industry pay
* Absolutely no cohesive company structure (the feeling that everyone is just here to collect a check and go home)
* Almost all projects are bid at lowest cost to rubber stamp client hyptoheses
* What you are told the job is during the candidacy process will be wildly different from your actual experience
