Toxic Positivity

Pros

Nice office space - multiple company gatherings/celebrations every year (pre-covid)

Cons

Overtime hours 25-50% of the time (unpaid for salaried of course) No sense of career growth or any advised structure for performance - loves saying that you can "create your own career path" constantly No sense of transparent goal setting for the company at large - goals are not measurable, roadmaps are thrown out the window halfway through every year Leaders change their mind on a dime and in turn, micromanage individual projects, instead of setting a vision and empowering employees to get the work done (relates to above) Very performative positivity which creates inauthentic culture. Have been told in meetings to not ask any negative questions, there is no opportunity to discuss things that could be improved

It’s time to read the proverbial tea leaves

Pros

Ideal work/life balance. Some super talented people that want to succeed and business to succeed. Great ERGs

Cons

Leadership doesn’t lead really. They do not set vision and instead delegate. This in turn doesn’t allow collaboration because you have disparate senior levels managers doing a bulk of the strategic work. You basically get chaos.

Pros

Good work/life balance, some excellent people work here

Cons

Upper management is the problem. Some of them are condescending and disrespectful. They are disconnected from the reality of the day-to-day environment. It isn't a great culture at this point and every day we lose more and more people as they grow tired of what is going on. How many people need to quit before you take a look at what the real issue is? I am tired of seeing good people leave because of jerks who were put in charge.
