They were starting to adopt a cutthroat culture where managers boast about firing people. I remember the point where I knew I was going to quit was when the VP called all the tech leads in a room and essentially told us, "Good riddance to these other folks, but good news! You are the ones we wanted to keep..."
My CEO was proud of his rapid firing skills, and the only people he kept around were the people who built his tech-debt ridden system in the first place, or put in 60h+ a week. For such a young company, the Github contributions were full of ex-people with a few hundred lines of code. Like, if you have to fire so many people you hire, then fire the people who are hiring everyone, or treat your employees better so they actually feel like doing good work for you.
