Everything is not structured properly and there are a lot of hiccups and gaps in processes - you don't even know what you don't know. Direction is all over the place and can change whenever it feels like it. Micromanaging is definitely present, you get spied on too. Sometimes, you will feel like you have done work for nothing because they want so many things but may end up not going through with those items. A LOT of miscommunication.
Last minute changes and decisions that can affect your personal time as well. They expect for you to do extra work that isn't part of your role and doing it unpaid. They can act super cheap at times and make you travel or do work on your own personal time so they don't lose any official work time from you.
Hybrid WFH model is up to discretion from management at times and they are not straightforward with reasons why everyone has to be in-office at some points, with vague reasons or lies. Some employees can WFH right away while others can't; WFH policies are not the same for everyone unfortunately. They do not trust employees working from home even though they market themselves as "flexible" with WFH, as if the 3-6 month probation period where you have to be in-office every day wasn't enough. Way too strict / dictating about WFH policies to the point you feel watched or feel controlled.
No concrete direction from upper management and as a result, getting blamed for bad numbers and apparently doing nothing productive, despite being busy with a lot of tasks. Management does not want to hear your excuses or why things were the way they were, they just want to see what they want to see without understanding any reasonings as to why things are the way they are, blaming employees for poor results.
Dodgy excuses and explanations for certain things, making me feel like a kid - I'm not supposed to understand what's going on but in actuality, I see exactly what's going on. Too many ambiguous reasons as to why they're implementing changes or doing something in a certain way.
Always seems to be someone leaving the company every 1-2 weeks (globally), which makes things seem extremely uncomfortable and sometimes, you have to ignore it or else they will be upset that you're not working. For those who unwillingly leave, consequences are not thought about and other employees have to suffer with the leftover work and issues that were not carried over properly.
Pay is also below market and not worth the stress you may go through.
