Is my new workplace toxic?

I just started new job and red flags are everywhere. They are marketing themself as first class, top company where everyone are family. While interviewing, HR was extra nice and pleasant. On the technical interview, my interview seemed non competent but I thought it was coincidence (real one was sick). First red flag is that they offered me almost 50% of pay what I know their people has (on that level). It was very hard to get more (they were defensive), but I managed it somehow. My friend said how they are great (even tho he never worked there) so I accepted the job. Two weeks into it, my gut is telling me there are problems because: -my mentor has 2 YOE and I am almost 5 -people are defensive when asking questions or they won’t even respond -they are keeping me on distance and mocking some of my personal…

They are marketing themself as first class, top company where everyone are family. While interviewing, HR was extra nice and pleasant.

On the technical interview, my interview seemed non competent but I thought it was coincidence (real one was sick).

First red flag is that they offered me almost 50% of pay what I know their people has (on that level). It was very hard to get more (they were defensive), but I managed it somehow.

My friend said how they are great (even tho he never worked there) so I accepted the job.

Two weeks into it, my gut is telling me there are problems because:
-my mentor has 2 YOE and I am almost 5
-people are defensive when asking questions or they won’t even respond
-they are keeping me on distance and mocking some of my personal habits
-nobody is giving me contract even tho I started job 15 days ago
-I gave them a feedback (which tehy said they would like to happily hear) how they can improve something, but they didn’t welcome it
-I don’t do anything, just watching some videos
-they are bunch of juniors

They even told me I should relocate which I did, but 1 day prior they informed me it is not necessary.

TLDR – Joined company which was “family oriented” although they tried to give me poor pay. 2 weeks into, I don’t have contract, nobody is responding or giving instructions, I didn’t meet anyone except few meetings talks. The team won’t easly accept new people.
