The worst and most manipulative manager of my career was here. Lead of our org had generally no direction. So many people were terrible when it came to resolving issues. Seattle freeze but in the workplace. Say one thing to you, and another thing to someone else. The business acts like they are inclusive but don't really understand how that extends beyond being race and LGBTQ friendly. Congrats - but how do you actually treat your people in the day to day?
It is completely unsurprising to see the ZO business collapse given how this company is run. No centralized planning. No processes. No infrastructure. No thinking about downstream effects, or long term planning. Nobody takes responsibility for their own part in situations. Zero people complete tasks on time. People who commit to doing something will often not do it, or do the opposite, without communication to the team. It felt like chaos all the time, and constantly putting out fires. Got hired to do one job, then my role turned out to be something different, got shifted around no less than 3 times, a couple re-orgs, management change and then was surprised at how difficult it was to navigate remotely - all the first year. Senior leaders verbally attack people, have unrealistic expectations, name call, refuse to work as a team - and are allowed to stay on board. Pretend to be on your side, then twist what you say and use it against you later. The most toxic organization I've ever been a part of. My mental health seriously deteriorated over the course of my time here. I've never been treated that poorly in a job, ever.
RUN FAR, FAR AWAY.
