Toxic leadership undermines potential and integrity
Pros
Cheap food. That's about it.
Cons
The leadership here runs on favoritism, not merit. If you're willing to play along with whatever a manager wants — regardless of whether it's fair or even reasonable — you're rewarded with visibility and recognition. If you push back or simply do your job with integrity, you're sidelined or quietly punished. There's a clear pattern of certain leaders deliberately targeting high-potential employees — the ones with the skills and trajectory to eventually grow into their own roles — and finding ways to undermine or push them out before that can happen. Employees who give honest feedback in the Peakon surveys are quietly identified and targeted afterward, which makes the whole exercise feel like a trap rather than a genuine listening tool. People are openly pressured to stay silent in front of senior leadership and not raise any real concerns, no matter how valid. I personally faced harassment on a near-daily basis during my time there, and raising it internally changed nothing. Decision-making is driven by ego and personal insecurity rather than what's actually good for the team or the product. The culture rewards loud self-promotion over real delivery, and it shows in the quality of output and the morale of the team. DevOps system leadership is worst. No work at leadership level.
