Pros

The technical work was genuinely interesting, and my colleagues were competent and knew what they were doing.

Cons

- I worked every weekend, often for entire days, without ever being explicity told to, because the workload effectively demanded it. - Messages regularly came in late at night, including around 11 PM, as if it were normal working hours, and it became clear that not responding was viewed negatively. - My vacation time was rarely real rest since I would still be contacted or return to urgent issues that made me feel obligated to stay engaged. - There was an unspoken expectation of constant availability, where being ready to respond immediately was treated as standard. - I became exhausted from constantly checking my phone first thing in the morning and right before sleeping because work never truly stopped.

Pros

Can't think of anything to be honest.

Cons

The place is an absolute circus, and leadership keeps changing direction with no heads up. You can spend weeks on something and then suddenly it doesn't matter anymore. Pay is low, benefits are weak, and raises barely move the needle. Works keeps piling up, but no one adds support, no standardized training, so people end up doing way more than they should. There's tension between teams, and it creates constant anxiety even outside of work. Another thing that stands out is how unclear everything feels most of the time. Their priorities change at all the time. Even when you ask for guidance, the answers are inconsistent. It makes simple tasks take longer than they should. You end up second guessing your work a lot. That uncertainty builds up and adds to the anxiety. It's hard to stay confident in that kind of set up. There's also not much recognition for effort, which makes it harder to stay motivated. People put in extra hours and it barely gets noticed. There's no real reward for going the extra mile, Over time, that starts to wear people down. You can see in how quickly others lose interest or leave. It creates a cycle where burnout becomes normal. Staying long term just doesn't feel worth it. Just don't work here, you can find easier jobs with people that don't suck.
