Pros
The only positive was the solidarity among peers and junior members who consistently back each other up.
Kontras
- Aggressive & Ruthless Leadership: The Deputy CTO’s management style is centered on "scolding" and professional aggression. There is a lack of basic respect, with confrontational behavior being the norm rather than the exception. - Toxic Office Politics: The environment is heavily influenced by internal politics that reward compliance over performance. It creates a culture of fear where employees are constantly on edge. - Extreme Micromanagement: Leadership refuses to trust the expertise of the staff. Every minor detail is controlled and scrutinized, which stifles any form of creativity or operational efficiency. - Psychological Safety is Non-existent: Between the constant scolding and the ruthless approach to staff management, there is no room for mistakes or growth. This has directly led to high turnover and low morale across the board.
