Pros
Remote work Some talented and supportive colleagues who try to make the best of a difficult environment. Opportunities to learn independently due to the lack of structure.
Cons
Leadership lacks clear direction and accountability. Decisions are often inconsistent and poorly communicated. Overtime is treated as the norm rather than the exception, creating an unhealthy work-life balance. There is little to no proper work planning. Projects are frequently rushed or reprioritized without explanation. No proper onboarding process. New employees are expected to figure things out on their own with minimal guidance or support. Constant micromanagement despite the lack of clear processes or direction. Management does not take responsibility when things go wrong, and accountability is often pushed down to employees. Leadership often prioritizes results over employee well-being. For example, employees may be expected to continue working even while on sick leave or when they are clearly unwell. Unprofessional behavior from the direct manager, including poor communication and a lack of respect toward team members. Feedback from employees is rarely acknowledged or acted upon.
