Toxic bro culture. Most leadership are white men who project confidence even if they are not nearly as intelligent as they think they are. Takes waaaay longer to move up in the organization if you are a female generally and you will be held to a higher standard, doubly so if you are a minority. Also women are far more likely to be pushed out or shoved aside when they reach a certain age. Very toxic top down culture. Very hierarchical. Now that they are trying to refill the pipeline they want to increase R&D, accelerate everything while still staying flat on R&D spend and headcount which is making for an impossible situation and terrible work life balance. They don’t value high performers and there is minimal oversight of senior managers leading to some terrible managers making terrible hires / poor decisions and inadvertently gutting their departments expertise and experience. Plus poor senior managers who lack experience tend to value whoever is kissing up rather than actually contributing to company success. Whenever there are mistakes made senior managers are never held accountable - instead lower level employees are tasked with cleaning up and providing some type of explanation.
