Avantages
Amazing and hardworking staff from all departments who have banded together despite hardship
Inconvénients
Since the new CEO took over, this company has become a textbook example of how leadership can destroy a strong culture. What was once a collaborative, family-oriented team has turned into a cutthroat environment where favoritism, gossip, and executive posturing take priority over actual results.
Promotions are withheld across departments while select friends of the CEO are hired into executive roles with vague responsibilities and inflated titles. Meanwhile, the people doing the real work are overburdened, under-resourced, and told to “be patient” while leadership focuses on appearances.
Speaking of appearances, the company’s marketing team has taken to cherry-picking only glowing reviews and presenting them as representative of the employee experience. These are often written by the inner circle themselves, while real concerns from current and former employees are ignored or buried by the HR VP. It’s a gaslighting tactic: ignore the rot, amplify the illusion.
If you bring forward a legitimate concern, it’s met with silence or punishment. It’s as if leadership believes that by not acknowledging problems, they simply don’t exist. This strategy might fool some, but those working here know the truth: there is a disturbing disconnect between what’s being projected and what’s actually happening inside the organization.
There is incredible talent at this company, people who care, work hard, and want to see it thrive. But they deserve better leadership. Until that changes, beware of the smoke and mirrors.
