* DoesNotDrive: The higher-ups in Montreal give Poppy a Porsche as a bonus for the success of the battle royal expansion. The car is later given away as a prize during the office Christmas party/all-nighter, never driven. Later, in "The Year of Phil," a newly-confident Poppy wants to drive herself and Dana to the pitch meeting with a VC, and they show up late because the pedals prove to be "very confusing" for her.

* DrunkWithPower: In Season Three, with Brad's help, Carol figures out how to turn her largely-meaningless new position as [=HoDI=] into one with actual power, and doesn't handle it well. By the end of the season she's gratuitously denigrating innocent employees whose only sin is not checking enough demographic boxes. When she goes too far and gets MQ threatened with an ageism lawsuit from an over-40 employee she had casually mocked, she arbitrarily fires two testers so she can replace them with older people and "prove" MQ doesn't discriminate based on age. She's also picked up an obnoxious habit of [[ThirdPersonPerson referring to herself in the third person]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Poppy is abrasive, brutally honest, and obnoxiously arrogant, and she's a nightmare of a boss to her underlings as a lead programmer and only gets worse when she's promoted to co-creative head. However, she isn't usually rude on purpose and she has moments when she tries to dial back her general BrutalHonesty, such as with Rachel and Jo in season 3 once they start bonding over brunch and [[ItMakesSenseInContext crushing cars with tanks.]] She also genuinely cares about Ian, no matter how much he gets on her nerves.

* InternalizedCategorism: {{Implied}}. Poppy constantly calls the Mythic Quest programmers "freakazoids," which confuses Ian since Poppy is ''also'' a programmer and thus is insulting herself. The season 3 flashback episode shows that Poppy's BigSisterBully Tracy used to call her a "freakazoid," implying that by the present day, Poppy has internalized this and as a result, considers anyone similar to her, for instance, the Mythic Quest programmers, "freakazoids" as well.
