Pros

Not much to say here. Probably the best thing is that you can stay in the company without doing anything since the managers and the CEO are unsuitable for their roles, and there is always chaos going on, so probably nobody will notice that you are underperforming. Given that no one has ever been fired, it is a low-effort environment for those who prefer a minimal workload. This could be a suitable option for recent graduates or individuals looking for a stress-free job while exploring other opportunities.

Cons

This company characterized itself as a startup, but the truth is that it looked more like a department of the Greek public sector during the ‘80s. The managers, and especially the CEO, lack communication and collaboration skills, while hiring decisions seem to be based more on personal connections than professional qualifications. The highly unstructured workplace culture leads to a toxic environment with high employee turnover—most employees leave within 5-6 months. Salaries are also significantly below industry standards. Given these factors, long-term career growth here is unlikely. This company may be an option for those in transition or with no immediate alternatives, but anyone serious about building a career in this industry should look elsewhere. On the bright side, any future workplace will likely feel like an improvement after this experience.

Pros

All projects are at most cases identical to each other, so you will probably be doing the same tasks over and over on different projects, so your only actual problem will be time management. If you get the hang of it and after you notice that most people expected to guide you have little idea on how to do their job, you will relax and take your time. Noone will bother you unless it's 2 days after deadline.

Cons

Since all managers and the CEO focus on meetings rather than actual work, be ready to receive minimal support and/or guidance, meaning you will learn as you go, while they expect that you instantly deliver, even without any real onboarding. Most probably, because there is zero understanding of basic PM principles, you will be asked and tasked to deliver on extra projects you have no idea about, while being yelled at like you're the one paid to manage. Also, the total lack of time management skills will definitely be a burden, because they forget to monitor deadlines, but expect you to deliver tasks, no matter how big or small, in the last minute and in the best shape. Salary-wise not only is pay significantly below market-average but it will definitely not correspond to the quantity and variety of tasks assigned, givent the fact that there is a definite lack of interest and/or negligence on employee growth, career path provision etc. All in all, if you want to get your first 6-month or 1-year experience, you can possibly consider this company, but expect to come across a toxic and heavily disorganized environment where doing more for less is viewed as normal.
