I like the direct people I work with, however, my company has built a culture where most team members are jumping at the chance to catch you slipping up and are waiting to throw you under the bus. It’s sad when different departments are in such heightened competition with each other. It seems counterproductive to the growth of our company.

That reminds me of the old saying about the fish rotting from the head. Some organizations just perpetuate a real cut-throat atmosphere and it tumbles downhill and takes hold at the department level. It's wrongly considered a good attitude because people think it's competitive. But all too often it serves to undermine people and drive good talent away. As you say, it's counterproductive.

That’s exactly what I mean. People think they’re looking out for the best interest of either themselves or the business, but if we all approached our work with the mindset of working together, we’d probably get a lot farther and have a better experience doing it.

Oh that's horrible, nothing worse than untrustworthy colleagues. If I can offer anything to this, is that I genuinely haven't experienced it before. I think its pretty rare and not true of all work cultures! I wonder if its more common in America?

It could be more common in America. The environment here is so competitive and doesn’t care much about business results. Just appearance of result.

Hi! I’ve been approached by Securonix for a Sales Director role in NA. I know the field and their competitors. The pay is good but I’ve seen a handful of websites with employee rating that is really bad. Each site has roughly 10 reviews but most are negative. Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.
