There are no growth opportunities, low industry standard pay, no bonus incentives, a toxic work environment, and fear/intimidation/retaliation tactics are often employed by middle and upper management in order to force junior employees to take on their manager or senior team member's workload. Being collaborative and friendly with your coworkers was frowned upon by management; I was instructed to not speak to any other coworkers unless the conversation was billable. Company culture has essentially vanished since 2023, and many people take that as an opportunity to harass people in an online environment.
