      Great immediate team but poor executive leadership

      Sr program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Wonderful team mates & immediate/next level management.

      Cons

      Old boys club at senior & c-suite levels. In human treatment of veteran team members. Discriminatory toward thoughtful, conscientious, female voices. Flog those who do not bow down to "the man." Toxic culture at c-suite level & above. Zero concern for individual team members, Top leadership only padding pockets for themselves, while under-paying & under-valuing those who keep the cogs churning for most senior men to set themselves for nauseatingly, big pay-outs. Lots of propaganda (negative connotation) from highest levels akin to brainwashing while treating wide swaths of producers poorly in every way. All as evident in annual employee satisfaction surveys.
