Very poor work life balance - long hours with little to no recognition. This company runs *very lean*, to the point of it being detrimental to employee health. Compensation is below market, especially considering the level of stress. Office politics are extremely unpleasant and vicious. There is open disdain for teams/departments and various individuals, justified or not. Backstabbing is common practice. Company is on a path to failure with decreased profitability. Incredibly low employee morale compounds the troubles.
