- highly demanding in a non productive way - too many meetings and the most corp. nonsense I've ever encountered: each dept. meeting the shared doc included 9 pictures and everyone had to go around and state which picture most resembled the way they were feeling for the week and why... - poor processes from an operations standpoint, especially the inclusion of Vendr, that were over burdensome with minimal value add. Showed a lack of trust in the workflow approval setups - as others have mentioned highly demanding/poor worklife balance and expectations of being available for longer hours due to global distribution of employees - odd team dynamics made it clear it wasn't a good fit

* No process discipline. Agreed-upon workflows are either ignored or outright resisted, making it impossible to build sustainable systems. * Constant last-minute changes to priorities and deliverables, often framed as “urgent” but rarely truly urgent, which causes unnecessary stress and wasted effort. * Team members regularly bypass formal channels for both large and small asks, which undermines efficiency and version control. * Ineffective review processes. Performance reviews lack metrics, standards, or measurable goals; instead they rely on anonymous quotes from colleagues who may not work closely with you. * Managers lack training in constructive communication and feedback. Team culture would benefit from structured frameworks (e.g., DISC) to improve collaboration and reduce unnecessary friction.
