That everyone there above the bottom-tier staff were jerks. (Not referring to my current or any recent job.) I've turned this over in my head for more than a decade now and have concluded there was no question I could have asked, or other way I could have known before accepting the position. Likewise, I've concluded that there's no reliable way to what a new hire will be like to work with until you've worked with them for several months. Sometimes you just gotta change jobs. Small companies can be great places because sometimes the leadership directly sees the problems of turnover and wants individuals to succeed. In large companies if you don't like where you are there are generally more options to move around. Medium-sized companies can be the worst of both worlds. (I'm sure some are the best though.)
