Poor leader accountability. Annual goals often not established until Q3 or Q4. Retention bonuses used to replace actual pay increases, yet few stay the years required to actually become vested. Promotions dependent on who you know and your willingness to sit in a cubical 1-2 days a week to demonstrate your commitment to a hybrid work environment. Even if you are on the road 180 minutes out of the day to commute.
Culture improvement is a commitment every year without improvements.
Male leaders paid substantially more than females in the same role.
Annual RIFs
Chaotic work environment
