The positive local experience is completely shattered by the toxic and abusive culture dictated by the senior leadership team.
Harassment & Bullying: Dissent or questioning is met with retaliation. I witnessed and experienced targeted campaigns to isolate and push out competent employees who were not "yes-men."
Extreme Stress & Burnout: The constant pressure, fear of the next abusive call, and impossible, shifting deadlines create a perpetually high-stress environment. It's not "challenging"; it's psychologically damaging.
"Do as I Say, Not as I Do" Leadership: The leadership preaches values like "collective intelligence" and "integrity" but operates with complete impunity. They are disconnected from local market realities, make dictatorial decisions without consultation, and then blame local teams for the resulting failures.
No Safe Reporting Channels: HR is not your ally. They are there to protect the company and the senior leaders creating the toxicity. Reporting issues leads nowhere, or worse, makes you a bigger target.
