Inflated egos, toxic culture a mentally damaging environment

Business outlook

Pros

Nothing really, great people worked there, but they all left or they were fired

Cons

Arrogant people with inflated egos in decision making roles who lack the skills and experience required for their roles. Their advancement happened because of the personal connections rather than merit or capability. They knew someone up there and that's how they got their ''senior role''. Wasted talent, several of the strongest performers were let go, while many other highly skilled and loyal employees chose to leave voluntarily after years of dedicated service. Every year about there is a massive cull where maybe even half of the floor is fired. Management also struggles with employee recognition. Rather than offering meaningful incentives or career development opportunities they incentivise you with more darts throws where you can win literally NOTHING!
