Leadership who doesn't listen to employees unless it's what they want to hear. Inconsistent policies and procedures that are often applied on an individual basis and ONLY if they provide favorable results for the guy in the corner office.

* They will work you to death. Once you're beyond entry-level you are expected to work unpaid overtime, nights, weekends, conferences and travel internationally at the drop of hat. * Working for a company with offices across the globe means that you'll be taking work calls outside of normal work hours. If you're on the West coast, expect 5 or 6am calls on a regular basis. If you're on the East coast, be prepared to stay until 7 or 8pm. Lord help you if you work with Asia on a regular basis. * Unrealistic staffing. There's a heavy reliance on temporary workers over hiring more staff. Management leaves key departments with missing head count after someone leaves, almost to see if the department can manage the same amount of work with less headcount. * High management turn over. The "strategy' changes every 3 years or so. No time to see if the changes we've implemented actually benefited the business. * Shrinking benefits: 401K, dental and vision coverage are all still good, but the health care coverage is a joke now. If you or a family member take regular medications, be prepared for the prescription coverage to run out half-way through the year. You will pay full-price, out of pocket for the rest of the year.
