Health benefits could be more competitive, but the company is steadily improving as it grows.

There are good leaders in senior leadership that try their best to protect their direct reports from the issues at the top.

Executive leadership has fundamental structural problems. The organization prioritizes cost reduction above security and safety standards, and consistently operates in legal gray areas. I observed that career advancement correlates with alignment with leadership rather than merit; questioning decisions is treated as disloyalty. Nepotism is rampant. Family members and personal connections receive more opportunities and more tolerance for underperformance than other employees. The CEO functions as a visionary delegator rather than an operator. He launches new business ideas and companies while the core business operates without consistent executive attention and leadership. This creates a management vacuum filled by salespeople rather than strategy. Employee value is low. The company relies on offshore labor and H1B workers largely because they can pay substantially less and because visa sponsorship provides leverage. The company hires people in precarious situations and uses that to optimize for cost over stability or talent. This approach inevitably damages client relationships. The organization doesn't prioritize employees or its own reputation. It's built to extract cost and move on.
