A deeply toxic culture

Pros

Remote working, good pay, ome genuinely talented and well-meaning individual contributors who deserve far better than what this organisation puts them through.

Cons

The Marketing department has a deeply toxic culture where bullying is normal. Many others and I have witnessed people being screamed at publicly in meetings with no consequences for those responsible. Multiple colleagues have quit without another job lined up rather than stay. Goals are unclear and shift constantly, yet when things go wrong the blame lands squarely on staff rather than on the leadership that failed to provide direction. Communication is terrible. Decisions are made with a small circle of favourites and not shared even with senior colleagues who need that information to do their jobs. The result is a culture where a small inner circle, based on favour, controls all decisions behind closed doors, leaving even experienced, senior people stripped of any decision-making authority. Leadership across the organization is chaotic. Processes are a mess, poorly defined and inconsistent. It's an environment that actively de-skills you over time. You may be encouraged to pursue the PMP, but the irony is that PMI doesn't apply its own methodology internally, so you'll never get the chance to put it into practice.
