Egos are rewarded you have to be really good at self promotion, the company is so big that you can feel lost if you don't invest in networking often, layoffs happen at Riot now

Relationship based organization means that there's alot of meetings and some orgs are in a far worse state than others. Increased trend of layoffs.

Following financial challenges, that culture noticeably shifted. I observed employees being discouraged or penalized for asking reasonable questions about timelines, and individuals were held responsible for missed deadlines despite approval bottlenecks caused by sudden and excessive micromanagement. Over time, trust eroded across teams and disciplines. Attempts to address these concerns through HR were ineffective, as responses consistently aligned with leadership rather than focusing on rebuilding trust. Feedback from leadership was often delivered privately in ways that felt personal rather than professional. Employees who raised concerns with HR were later laid off, and much of the HR team departed shortly afterward.
