If you're seriously considering applying, I'd encourage a long pause for reflection and just...don't. The job market would have to reach truly unprecedented levels before this environment becomes a reasonable option.
Leadership (both upper and middle management) appears to operate less on strategy and more on impulse, with decisions often lacking transparency, consistency, or any clear long-term vision. "I feel like this will work" seems to substitute for actual planning, which might be innovative if it weren't so consistently ineffective and detrimental to the teams growth and morale.
Communication is, at best, sporadic and at worst, nonexistent. Employees are expected to navigate shifting priorities with little to no context, and raising legitimate concerns is more likely to be met with dismissal than dialogue. Feedback doesn't just fall on deaf ears...it's often treated as an inconvenience.
The culture itself feels less like a professional environment and more like an exercise in navigating unnecessary power dynamics, where support is limited and accountability is elusive. Management feels like they were bullied in high school, and have now made it everyone else's problem.
If your goal is to slowly chip away at your confidence, stall your career growth, and blur the boundaries of any healthy work-life balance, this is certainly a place that will meet and exceed those expectations.
And finally, a word of advice: approach HR with caution.
