Pros

You learn exactly how not to run a business, which is painfully educational.

Cons

- Every move is monitored constantly. Screenshots are taken, productive hours are tracked, and any dip is called out immediately. Stepping away for a break feels impossible without judgment. It is exhausting and relentless. - All tools and systems are pointless and redundant. Multiple productivity platforms do the same thing, wasting time and making every day feel endless. Nothing you do feels meaningful. - The office is miserable. It smells musty, lacks basic amenities, and staff are forced in even when remote work would make sense. Meetings drag on, sometimes late into the evening, leaving no chance for a real life outside work. - Obsession with AI and automation creates constant fear that jobs are disposable. The company feels unstable, and anxiety over layoffs is constant. The combination of micromanagement, useless systems, and daily fear makes this role mentally draining and completely unrewarding.

The company’s focus on AI and automation was genuinely valuable. It provided opportunities to learn new skills and stay current with emerging technologies.

Cons

• Workloads were consistently extreme, leaving employees with no real relief or balance • Employees were expected to work excessively long and exhausting hours on a constant basis • Daily expectations were unrealistically high, creating a cycle of stress and disappointment • The environment showed little regard for employee wellbeing or sustainable working conditions • Burnout became a constant risk due to sustained pressure and lack of support • Leadership showed no visible concern for struggling employees and failed to check in or offer help • Communication and support from top leadership were largely absent during periods of high stress • Colleagues were also overwhelmed and overworked, leaving little ability to provide meaningful support • The overall atmosphere created isolation and frustration due to lack of assistance and empathy
