Cons
The processes within the company are poorly structured despite claiming to be an established startup. From day one, you’re overloaded with tasks without adequate guidance or support. Often tasks have to be redone due to lack of clarity and communication, yet employees are blamed for slow progress. There’s a severe lack of respect for work-life balance. Higher-ranking colleagues act superior, expecting unquestioning compliance, and expressing independent opinions is strongly discouraged. Also there’s a critical lack of structure and management support. Developers are forced to handle responsibilities far beyond coding, including task management in Asana, conducting meetings, creating QA checklists, manual testing (after each iteration of PR). You’re essentially doing multiple roles simultaneously, under constant pressure to deliver quickly, risking termination if you fail to meet unrealistic expectations.
