Business Outlook

Pros

They were targeting each other in attempts to blackball executive leadership. Teams would intentionally not communicate fractured processes in order to place blame. Politics and nepotism is valued over hardwork and delivery. The culture is shameful and heavily lacks integrity and transparency. Also, they pay below market rate for similar titles in the same verticals.

Cons

Leadership Dishonorable Lack of Transparency Wonky Pay Equity On-Site
