- Numerous colleagues stressed and fearful of their job security due to numerous unexpected or unexplained terminations
- Inconsistency in what they say and what they will actually do; when policy violations or inappropriate activities are brought up, colleagues and I spurned rather than thanked for saving them future legal troubles. No corrective action takes place either, which makes us afraid to speak up for fear of retaliation
- Unprofessional by US standards. These are a lot of Europeans that work here and they are oblivious to what is considered inappropriate here. Managers bashing an employee in a different language because they do not think I can understand them; male managers making sexist jokes
- Managers with little to no previous work history leading teams and not understanding what a manager's role is supposed to be like
- As others mentioned, people are 'tapped' by management for upward mobility; blatant display of favoritism, especially if the person is attractive (i.e., this person can get away with things that others of similar ranks cannot)
- Low salary for HQ when considering the location is by DC, one of the most expensive cities in the country; someone who is assigned to live in a small town where cost of living is 5x less will make the same salary as someone who is assigned to HQ so that could be a plus depending on where you end up working
