Toxic culture — speaking up is quietly penalized
Pros
High-impact technical projects Opportunity to work with smart, driven engineers Good compensation and fast-paced learning
Cons
Raising valid concerns is quietly punished Management protects itself, not its people Speaking up about issues (even with full documentation and professionalism) is seen as a threat Feedback loops don’t exist HR is performative — involved just enough to create the illusion of fairness, but not enough to protect the employee High performers are sometimes pushed aside if they disrupt internal power dynamics An environment where silence is rewarded more than integrity You’ll quickly find out that even exploring other internal roles outside your BU, can be seen as a threat — leadership would rather quietly remove people than reflect on why they’re losing talent
