Very long, relentless hours of work- no work life balance at all, and no appreciation for going above and beyond. That's the caveat to my comment on 'seems above market rate' - but the hours you work and what's expected really means you're underpaid. An obsession for writing and rewriting one strategy doc after another (narratives). A culture of distrust and everyone for themselves - people are usually so over-worked that it's rare to find someone who can just stop and provide assistance. Poor people skills at management level or below do not get addressed - and keep manifesting. A blind eye is turned either because these people have been there since the org was created or because they are perceived to deliver results. Your one-up is key to your job satisfaction - so do your due diligence, interview them and question culture, their management style and opportunities for growth. The org has had a recruitment freeze for over a year now, meaning there's no room to move, and expect a huge workload with growing targets year on year- but no additional staff, even the ones that leave don't get replaced.

Weak vacation policy Company wants to let go a certain percentage of employees each year to “raise the bar” Politics of prioritization and planning can leave you in a position where you do a bunch of meaningless work that ends up mothballed shortly before launch, resulting in having nothing to show for the year and being put under performance review.
