I entered HR a few years ago with genuine excitement, hoping to support people and make a positive impact. What I encountered instead was one of the most toxic and disheartening work environments I’ve ever experienced. The leadership team, particularly within TAM Leadership, operates with a chilling lack of empathy. These are highly manipulative individuals who prioritize their own image and advancement above everything else — including the well-being of their employees. They preach about protecting people while actively throwing them under the bus the moment it becomes convenient. Speaking up about unfair treatment or abuse is career suicide. The message is crystal clear: stay silent, or become the problem. The lack of psychological safety is staggering for a company that positions itself as a leader in cybersecurity. How can an organization claim to protect others when it fails so miserably at protecting its own people? I’ve built real, caring relationships with many employees here who are genuinely good people doing their best under immense pressure. Watching them suffer daily while leadership remains indifferent has been heartbreaking. If you value your mental health, your dignity, and a workplace that doesn’t slowly break your spirit — do not apply here. The declining stock performance and lack of employee engagement shouldn’t surprise anyone. When people are treated as disposable, performance inevitably suffers. This company may talk security, but there is zero security for your peace of mind or well-being once you walk through the door.
