Toxic culture, incestuous leadership and cultish culture - Designer Kami Employee Review

The perks don’t make up for the lack of competitive salary. It might cost you $10 a week for lunch, but I’d rather have a better salary. A lot of the old guard haven’t worked anywhere else (despite their youth) and are super set in their ways, incredibly biased and resistant to change. Because the culture is that there’s no hierarchy there are power plays in every team, making it so stressful. Basically, the louder you and and the more ruthless you are, the more likely you are to get the better assignments and pay rises. The entire leadership is related, and on top of that, because they’re related the younger ones either pull rank and make messes and get away with it because they’re related to the CEO (causing so much tension and resentment in the teams) or they dump way more work on them, and because they’re family they can’t say no, and no one else can either. It’s pretty disgusting. This is a company that doesn’t understand company culture, has never done an unconscious bias course, and is not diverse or inclusive. They basically think that more perks will distract you from how rubbish the culture is. It’s toxic, and because they haven’t noticed yet, it’s only going to get worse.
