Pros

Had the opportunity to work with talented colleagues, which contributed to personal growth and learning.

Cons

My experience in the company involved a challenging work environment with unrealistic expectations and constant pressure to meet tight deadlines. Leadership fostered a climate of fear, making it difficult to speak up, and there was little room for error. The lack of proper training and excessive micromanagement added to the stress. The workload seemed disproportionate to the compensation, and there was a high turnover rate. Middle management was particularly problematic, as there was a lack of confidentiality during 1:1 meetings, with personal details shared without consent to upper management, contributing to a negative atmosphere and distrust.
