This was one of the most frustrating places I have ever work. The ceo talked a good game, but employees quickly learned not to trust most of what was being said. Our managers were toxic! We are constantly worried about making mistakes. Support was almost nonexistent and employees were thrown in the deep end. The This is an extremely high pressure tech job by the way , and even small issues could turn into major problems. Work life balance was terrible . Long nights, weeked work, and messages at all hours became normal. Employees were expected to always be available no matter what was going on their personal lives. No respect for boundaries, burnout was common, comparable to a sweatshop. Meanwhile, management acted like it was part of the job. Projects were always all over the place, and expectations changed constantly. Leadership was quick to point out mistakes but rarely stepped in to help solve problems. Being called out in front of others made the workplace tense and uncomfortable. A lot of energy went into avoiding criticism instead of doing good work. The high turnover was impossible to ignore. Good employees kept leaving and new peaople rarely stayed long. There was always another resignation or another person being pushed out. In tead of fixing the problems, management just kept expecting everyone else to work harder. The cycle repeated over and over. This company made it hard to stay motivated because employess were treated as replaceable from the start.
