- theres always a fire to put out
- work gets handed to you EOD on a Friday and expected to be complete by the following Monday, forcing you to work through the weekend (I can't stress how many times this happens)
- if you're not in the office 5x a week you are looked down upon (even if everyones in office there isn't nearly enough room/seats for everyone)
- if you're not working weekends to make absurd deadlines meet, you are looked down upon
- lots of political bureaucracy and zero respect for work/life balance, leading to very quick burnouts which seem to never go away (due to having to overwork and work through weekends most of the time and non-realistic deadlines being set by leadership)
- office is loud and makes working very difficult, especially if your work requires you to focus
- leadership does not talk to teams about what they have planned to see if the deadlines for projects make sense, instead they set an absurd deadline that is set in stone (even after teams push back saying the deadline or features they want don't align with how long it takes to get it up and running, they refuse to change/update the deliverables to something that makes sense)
- The CEO complains during team meetings when people worked from home when they are sick and even if they working from home due to COVID symptoms, making it extremely unsafe for everyone that didn't have the virus and was working from the office
- company wide outings are just over-glorified frat parties with little to no food and tons of drinks (it doesn't make sense to attend these if you're not into that stuff)
