Interesting work with flexible ideas due to lack of expert guidance
Exposure to innovative projects and technologies
Opportunity to collaborate with knowledgeable colleagues
Flexible work arrangements and remote options
Cons
Hostile management and culture
Communication about project progress and feedback can be vague or inconsistent
More constructive guidance and encouragement needed instead of just criticism
Work felt excessively demanding, akin to "slavery"
Overexpectation while being underpaid
