Kontras
This was one of the most toxic work environments I have experienced. There was virtually no leadership, structure, or training. New employees are immediately assigned large, high-stakes projects with unrealistic timelines and are expected to perform as if they are long-tenured employees, despite receiving little to no onboarding or guidance. The office culture is extremely depressing and isolating. The environment is silent, with no collaboration or teamwork—only awkward interactions. Employees are not properly introduced, there is no clear org chart, and it often feels intentionally disorganized. Morale is visibly low, and it is common to hear about employees crying before or after work. Project management is extremely poor. Nearly every project runs significantly behind schedule, leading to constant scrambling and last-minute fire drills. These delays are then pushed onto employees, who are expected to be available at all hours. Meetings are frequently not placed on calendars, run for excessive lengths of time (often five hours or more), and regularly extend far past normal working hours. There is little respect for work-life balance. Employees are expected to be on call 24/7 and are often asked on Friday nights to work weekends due to management’s inability to plan or stay on schedule. The turnover rate is alarmingly high, which further reflects the unsustainable and unhealthy nature of the workplace. Overall, the culture feels cold and heartless, with little regard for employee wellbeing. Senior leader ship is constantly talking poorly about former and current employees. Lastly, the interview process is wild… they take about 3 months to hire you, and have you submit a project that can take well over a week to complete.
