Kontras
The development and communications department is toxic. The turnover is the highest I’ve seen at a company both because of out-of-the-blue firings for no apparent reason and people quitting because they can’t take the stress anymore. There’s a culture of distrust and fear on DevCom. Team leads are either pushed out of the org or pushed to verbally berating their coworkers for fear of losing their jobs. Many people have pleaded with the CEO time and again to please address the toxicity — but the response was near radio silence. Sadly all of the most talented, creative, enthusiastic employees have already left or are on their way out. If you are a communications professional please look elsewhere. The saddest part of this all is that at one point, PH had a wealth of talent and passion on the DevComm team -- and now it's gone.
