Pros

It’s a decent place to get initial exposure to the tech space and build foundations if you’re new to the industry.

Cons

Leadership relies on micromanagement, fear, manipulation rather than trust or empowerment even with consistent top performance. A strong culture of control over collaboration. High performance is rarely recognized unless it feeds leadership ego. Growth is significantly limited unless you are willing to conform and join the good ole boys club. Leadership operates as a closed circle protecting each others poor behavior and enables a culture of silence rather than accountability. Pay is well under what it should be. Don’t expect yearly raises on good performance.

Lack of investment and involvement from upper management abroad Limited budget made it hard to recruit new team members DevOps and technical improvements progressed slowly due to resource constraints Many innovative ideas couldn’t move forward Feeling that the site’s potential wasn’t fully recognized or supported
