Poor leadership

Pros

Very few, started out positive.

Cons

Leadership plays favouritism at all levels. They keep on changing their messaging and then when expectations are not met, the core performance related issues. Very poor communication for an organization that should pride itself based on their solutions they deploy.

Pros

Mission is noble. Many people can be amazing! Coaching is great.

Cons

There are too many to name. Micromanagement. Managers gaslighting you is a real thing here. Getting shamed for speaking up or asking valid questions (even in a proactive, kind way). Told to get over stuff or that stuff is your fault Leaders change directions constantly. There is a revolving door unless you happen to be in the “protected” OG class. Another thing that’ll get you protected is never, ever disagreeing and bowing down to leadership: Leaders can and will use anything they *think* they understood against you or as a scape goat. Leaders are very focused on above them only (vs their teams) as part of the culture created here. Layoffs occurred, then not even 2 months later same positions of layoffs were reposted. This poor planning happens constantly. While some coworkers are the brightest people you’ll ever meet, others can and will “play the games” and politics in order to further careers, which in turn further destroys morale. This is a very, very toxic place to work. It’s quite sad given some of the talent within. Working here is like being in a SUPER toxic relationship with a narcissist that gaslights you but you are financially dependent on them, so they abuse you knowing you’re dependent on them.

Pros

I loved my team. Smartest, purpose and mission-driven individuals I have worked with.

Cons

Everyone seemed to be onboard with the mission, but it was poorly executed in the way teams were managed. Middle management was fired without any notice and there was very little regard towards the psychological safety of the team. No clear career path left SDRs scrambling for the few and sporadic open opportunities there were and most had to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
