Pros
If you’re good at office politics and forming personal relationships with management, you can climb the ladder quickly. It’s easy to create the illusion of competence and get promoted because no one from the management team has any idea or actual knowledge about what they’re doing.
Cons
Extremely toxic and abusive work environment with frequent shouting and cursing. There is no respect for employees, nor any real investment in their development. Sexist attitude, where women are often overlooked, belittled, or not given equal opportunities or salaries. Salaries are low, and overtime, weekend meetings, and work-related travel are all unpaid. The labor inspection authority has already issued penalties against the company for unpaid overtime, yet nothing changes. The company relies on public funding to run mediocre innovation programs while constantly losing private-sector clients and employees every six months, yet refuses to acknowledge any issues and instead blames them on bottom-level employees. The CEO and management team are only focused on making money rather than running the company properly or putting any real effort into sustainable growth. If they suspect you're looking for jobs elsewhere, they will have people from their network approach you with fake work opportunities and then ghost you afterward. If and when you leave the company, expect them to talk badly about you, claiming you did nothing and were useless. There’s even a chance they might try to blackmail you for revenge. If you value fair treatment, actual professional development, and a healthy workplace culture, look elsewhere.
