Pros

Exposure to many different projects and technologies, especially helpful for juniors. Competent colleagues / team spirit among certain peers. Opportunities to grow technically if you take initiative (self-learning, managing own tasks). Some positive aspects of onboarding; interns report helpful supervision and guidance.

Cons

Low salaries relative to workload and compared to competitors. Frequent unpaid extra hours; poor work/life balance. Management issues: micromanagement, favoritism, lack of clear vision/strategy. Culture described by many as manipulative, toxic, with low recognition. Project decisions often driven by “delivery first” mentality, causing technical debt and sometimes lack of clarity in role expectations.

Pros

-gain experience quickly by being exposed to multiple projects and roles at once. -You’ll witness nearly every form of manipulation, pressure, and control tactic imaginable — a unique (and unfortunate) crash course in workplace psychology and survival. It’s eye-opening, and in a twisted way… educational.

Cons

-No recognition or reward: Raises are minimal, bonuses are symbolic (if any), and working evenings, weekends, or holidays gets you nothing in return. -Extreme micromanagement -Estimation trap: You’re pressured into giving unrealistic time estimates to “look good.” If you give a realistic one, you’re seen as incompetent. If you give a low one, you’re held fully accountable and expected to work nights and weekends to hit impossible deadlines. Either way, you lose. -No dialogue in conflict: Management listens to one side only. There’s no real conflict resolution process—just arbitrary decisions. -Toxic workplace culture: • No team-building, no effort to create genuine cohesion. • Office divided into cliques, childish behavior encouraged. • Gossip and snitching are not only common—they’re actively rewarded. • Taking advantage of others is seen as smart, not unethical. • The atmosphere feels more like a schoolyard than a professional environment. -Lack of leadership maturity: Management governs with pressure, fear, and favoritism rather than clarity, fairness, or vision. Instead of fostering professionalism, the company cultivates distrust, pressure, and emotional instability.
